Successfully defending assault charges requires an experienced lawyer who understands criminal law. At Pyzer Criminal Lawyers, we craft personalised defence strategies for each case, protecting our clients’ rights at every stage.
Under Section 265 of the Criminal Code of Canada, assault is the intentional application of force to another person without their consent. This includes causing harm or even threatening violence.
We defend against a wide range of assault charges, including:
Injuries caused or use of a weapon.
Assault within domestic relationships
Penalties depend on the charge and its severity. Summary convictions can result in fines or shorter sentences, while indictable offences may lead to more severe penalties, including longer imprisonment. A criminal record could also impact your employment, travel, and personal relationships.
Our team thoroughly investigates every case and explores all avenues of defence to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.
Q.A., a young offender, was charged with assault, causing bodily harm after allegedly punching a classmate and pushing him down a flight of stairs, leading to hospitalisation. Represented by Mr. Pyzer, the charges were withdrawn after Q.A. completed extrajudicial measures, including an apology and mediation. No criminal record or finding of guilt resulted from the case.
This charge involves the intentional use of force against someone without their consent. While it is generally considered one of the less severe forms of assault, it can still carry serious penalties, including fines, probation, and a criminal record.
This charge arises when someone threatens to cause harm, even if no physical contact occurs. Threats that cause fear of imminent violence can be prosecuted under this category.
Assault charges escalate when an injury or weapon is involved. If the assault results in significant bodily harm or involves the use of a weapon—such as a firearm, knife, or any object used to harm—the penalties are more severe, including longer prison sentences.
This is one of the most serious assault charges and involves causing severe injury to another person. Aggravated assault can result in long prison sentences and has significant legal ramifications.
Domestic assault, albeit not a distinct charge itself, occurs within intimate or family relationships. These cases are treated seriously by the courts, often leading to strict bail conditions, no-contact orders, and heightened scrutiny during trial.
Sexual assault encompasses a range of offences, from unwanted touching to sexual assault with a weapon.. This is a grave charge in the Canadian legal system, often leading to harsh penalties and mandatory registration as a sex offender if convicted.
Our team investigates each case thoroughly, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument and working tirelessly to defend your rights.
As a Canadian citizen, you have rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that must be upheld throughout the legal process. Key rights include:
