Get a Lawyer Who Doesn't Just "Do Their Job"—We Get Results
So you’ve been hit with assault charges. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, maybe it wasn’t. Whatever the story is, you’re probably freaking out, and with good reason. Assault is serious business in Canada, and if you don’t have a lawyer who knows their stuff, things can get messy fast. But that’s where we come in.
At ATAC LAW, we don’t just “represent” clients. We fight for them. We fight so hard, the other side might be questioning their life choices. No matter if it’s a simple assault or something more serious like assault causing bodily harm — we’ll have your back and give you the aggressive defense you deserve. No BS. Just results.
What is Assault in Canada?
We’re not going to sugarcoat it—assault penalties can mess you up. Whether it’s jail time, a criminal record, or just ruining your social life, assault convictions aren’t something you want hanging over your head. Here’s what you’re looking at:
- Simple Assault: You could end up with a 5-year sentence, or just a slap on the wrist if it’s a summary conviction. But still, jail time is on the table.
- Assault Causing Bodily Harm: 10 years in the big house if the crown decides to throw the book at you.
- Aggravated Assault: We’re talking 14 years, buddy. It’s a big deal.
- Sexual Assault: You could be looking at life in prison if it’s serious enough, and that’s just the beginning.
So yeah, your life could be seriously screwed up unless you get the right defense. But don’t worry—that’s where we come in. We get it. We get how much is riding on this.
What’s at Stake? Let’s Talk Penalties.
In plain English? Assault is when you intentionally hurt someone or threaten to hurt them. But don’t think you need to have broken a bone to be in trouble—it’s about intent. If someone feels threatened or if you make physical contact without their permission, that could be assault under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Simple Assault: A push, shove, punch—anything that involves force without serious injury.
- Assault Causing Bodily Harm: Someone’s hurt, they need medical attention, and the injury was a bit more than just a bruise.
- Aggravated Assault: This one’s a biggie—serious injuries like disfigurement or near-death stuff. If you’re facing this, you’re probably looking at some serious jail time.
- Sexual Assault and Spousal Assault: Any unwanted physical sexual contact—zero tolerance, but it’s still defensible.
No matter what, facing assault charges can derail your life. Jail time? A criminal record? It’s real, and it’s ugly. So, let’s make sure we do everything we can to keep you out of trouble and out of a cell.
How We Handle Assault Cases
We’re not your average law firm, and we’re definitely not your average lawyers. When we take on an assault case, we go full throttle. We challenge everything. We fight for your freedom, your job, and your reputation. Here’s how we do it:
- Self-Defense? You Bet: You weren’t being aggressive. You were just defending yourself or someone else. It happens. We’ll show the courts you weren’t in the wrong.
- Accident or Misunderstanding? We’ll Prove It: Not every fight ends with someone in the ER. If you were just pushing someone out of the way, and things got messy? We’ve got your back.
- False Accusations? Not on Our Watch: Sometimes, people make up stories. We’ll take apart their case piece by piece and call out the lies.
- No Evidence? No Problem: We’ll dig into the details and expose weak evidence or shady witness testimony. If the case against you is built on a shaky foundation, we’ll knock it down.
- Mutual Consent? Let’s Talk: Maybe both parties were in on it. You’d be surprised how many times things get blown out of proportion. If you had consent, we’ll make that clear.
Our goal is to get you the best result—whether that means getting the charges dropped, going for a reduced sentence, or winning at trial.
