The trial judge held in a reserved judgment that there was an air of reality to my client’s claim of self-defence which left the court with a reasonable doubt as to his guilt. Not guilty of all charges. No criminal record.

R v M.L.
Client was charged with domestic assault and failure to comply with recognizance (x2) in relation to a series of incidents with his ex-girlfriend. Our firm was retained after the client allegedly breached his bail conditions a second time – he was immediately released after Michael appeared for him in bail court. The crown was seeking a suspended sentence and probation given the client’s criminal record. After resolution discussions that lasted nearly one year, the Crown agreed that it was not in the public interest to proceed with the case and all charges were withdrawn. No criminal record.

R v T.B.
Client was charged with possession of marihuana (under 30 grams) under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act after being stopped at a RIDE spotcheck.

Following successful resolution discussions the Crown agreed to withdraw the charge.

R v C.A.
Client was charged with assault, mischief under $5,000 and sexual assault in the domestic context. The client was looking at jail time given the allegations.

R v J.H.
Client was charged with speeding (49 km/h over the limit) on Highway 400 after he was ‘paced’ by an officer. The officer did not track my client’s speed by way of a radar device, but rather, he ‘paced’ my client’s vehicle, using the speedometer on his police cruiser to provide a range of possible speeds. After researching the law in this area and preparing an extensive cross-examination of the officer, the charge was withdrawn on the day of trial. No demerit points. No fine.

R v G.S.
Client was charged with domestic assault stemming from an argument with his wife. Shortly after retaining our firm, the client’s Recognizance of Bail was varied, allowing him to return home. The criminal charge of assault (Criminal Code section 265) was eventually withdrawn. No criminal record.
