Domestic Violence
is one of the very common offences in Criminal courts. These
offences include but are not limited to: Assault, Assault With
A Weapon, Assault Causing Bodily Harm and Uttering
Threats.
Often times it is not the “criminal” act of the partners that
brings these cases before the court, rather it is the lack of
knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations that leads to
these charges.
Consequently, often times the partners who call 911 on their
domestic partners do not know that the police will arrest and
remove their partner from their residence and they will not be
able to speak or communicate with each other for weeks or
months after the arrest.
In other words, the complainants in these cases are often
unaware of the consequences of their complaint and specially
they do not know that the case does not simply close by them
“retracting” their complaints.
Other cases involve some very serious acts that may endanger
the lives of the partners and even their children at
home.
For these reasons, handling
domestic violence Toronto
cases requires a tactful and skillful approach. At Gambriani
Law PC, we recognize that not every client wants the same
result.
