Assault

Assault is one of the most commonly laid criminal charges in Canada, and it can arise from a wide range of situations—including arguments, physical altercations, domestic disputes, or even misunderstandings. Under the Criminal Code, assault is defined as the intentional application of force, or the threat of force, without the other person’s consent.

Even if no visible injuries were sustained, a conviction for assault can carry significant consequences, including a criminal record, jail time, and immigration complications.

At Deol Law, we understand that assault charges often stem from emotional or high-pressure situations. We investigate the facts thoroughly, examine the credibility of witnesses, explore possible self-defence or consent-based arguments, and work toward having your charges withdrawn, reduced, or dismissed.
