Domestic Assault

Domestic Assault (Domestic Violence)

Domestic assault charges are often more complex than regular assault charges, because domestic assault cases deal with spouses or persons in the context of an intimate relationship. Such cases are often treated more harshly by the Courts. It is critical to retain an experienced domestic assault lawyer immediately. Once you are charged, if you are released, you will be placed on release conditions that will not allow you to contact your partner, the victim, or sometimes even your children, you may also be barred from attending your family home. In these domestic violence cases, an experienced domestic assault lawyer can fight for your release, and minimize your release conditions, so that they are the least restrictive possible.

What is Domestic Assault?

Domestic assault charges can be referred to by many names:

  •       Domestic assault
  •       Domestic violence
  •       Intimate Partner Violence

All of these terms refer to the same type of charge, an assault committed against a spouse, partner, or person with whom you maintain an intimate relationship. As a result, any form of assault charge can qualify as a domestic assault, if committed against an intimate partner. The most common assault-related charges are listed below:

  •       Assault
  •       Assault with a Weapon
  •       Assault Causing Bodily Harm
  •       Aggravated Assault
  •       Sexual Assault
  •       Forcible confinement
  •       Utter threats
  •       Criminal Harassment

All of the above charges can occur independently, but are also often charged in the context of a domestic assault. Our team of experienced domestic assault lawyers are aware that these allegations of domestic violence can accompany immigration or family law proceedings.

How an Experienced Assault Lawyer Can Help You

An experienced criminal defence lawyer, well versed in Domestic Assault law will be critical to winning your case. An experienced domestic assault lawyer will identify the issues in your case, and give you proper guidance through this stressful process.

You should call a lawyer for advice at the earliest possible opportunity. The police may want to interview you at the outset. The police can lie to you to encourage you to answer questions:

  1.       The police may say that they are just investigating, and have not yet decided to lay charges.
  2.       They may say that they just want to hear your side of the story.
  3.       The police may comment that they just want to complete their file by getting everyone’s version of events.
  4.       The police may try to guilt you into providing answers by suggesting that “if you were innocent, you would just tell your side of the story.”

A failure to answer police questions, or provide your version of events, is not a sign of guilt, you have a right to remain silent.

An experienced criminal defence lawyer will make sure that you are aware of that right, as well as all of the other rights you have throughout the process.  Specifically, an experienced domestic assault lawyer will be able to identify any indirect consequences of you case. These consequences can include:

  1.       Ongoing non-communication / no-contact Orders with your partner (the victim), your family members, or your children.
  2.       Employment consequences that may come about as a result of a conviction.
  3.       Travel restrictions that may be imposed as a result of being convicted of domestic violence offences.
  4.       Immigration consequences, including the potential for deportation of non-Canadian citizens.
  5.       Impacts in family or civil court proceedings, such as custody disputes, or restraining Orders.

These are not items that readily come to mind when you think of being charged with a domestic assault, but an experienced domestic violence lawyer will be thinking of these issues immediately. An experienced domestic assault lawyer will ensure that you are informed of all of these items.

At Kraska Law we are well versed in domestic assault cases. We will identify your specific concerns, and fight to protect your interests. We will strive to successfully negotiate the end of your case at the earliest opportunity. If the Crown Attorney will not agree to a favorable negotiation, then we will fight the case at trial. In either instance, we will strive to be the best domestic assault lawyers for your case.
