Understanding the charge of aggravated assault is critical to building an appropriate defence. Aggravated assault is the most serious charge under the assault charging provisions in the Criminal Code. It is the consequences of this assault which make it so serious in nature. The injuries which flow from the assault must include maiming, wounding or endangering the life of the victim. It is important to obtain evidence about the precise nature of the alleged injuries and the Crown’s theory of the case to prepare your defence. Our role is to develop defences which, can include but are not limited to, the accidental infliction of the injuries, self-defence or other more general issues including the ability of the victim to identify you as the perpetrator. It is important that the Crown’s case is analyzed in detail and where necessary we seek out and obtain evidence to build your defence.

That's why you need a criminal defence lawyer on your side from the first moment you are arrested; the lesser the charge the judge lays, the better. As experienced and knowledgeable criminal defence lawyers, we will leave no stone unturned in gathering evidence and building a case for your defence.
