Assault can range from relatively minor unwanted physical contact (or fear of physical contact) such as a push all the way to physical contact causing serious bodily injury. Where the assault is caused using any “thing” other than your body, the assault will be considered to be assault with a weapon. All assault charges are serious and all have the prospect of a variety of successful defences. Let me put my experience to work for you. I will review the law with you and determine if you have a defence to the charge. Failing that, I will use my experience to review your case with the crown attorney with a view to reaching a negotiated resolution agreeable to all parties.
Many weapons offences have very significant minimum jail sentences attached to them. It is crucial that you hire an experienced lawyer to assist you in defending such charges. Often times there are technical defences available to you that you are unaware of. Call me, I have the experience to help you.

FAQ: Assault Causing Bodily Harm
Assault causing bodily harm may be prosecuted in one of two ways: by summary conviction or by indictment.
Serious assault charges such as assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and assaulting a police officer are generally prosecuted by way of indictment and can result in significant jail sentences. Our office can help you understand the specifics of your case and the potential penalties you may be facing. Contact our office to schedule an appointment.
Assault causing bodily harm is harm that is caused by any intentional application of force, directly or indirectly, to another person. It is important to note that no one can consent to harm that is more than trifling. In other words, even in a consent fight (which is legal) you cannot cause bodily harm because the law in Canada states that no one can consent to harm which is more than trivial. Generally, cuts requiring stiches, injuries with more than minor bleeding, and other such injuries qualify as “bodily harm”.
