My Cases — Domestic Assaults, Threats & Harassment

A "domestic" is a criminal charge arising from a familial or romantic relationship. Although there is no such offence as a "domestic assault," domestics have become a breed of their own. Most Crown offices have a domestic team and most Courts have opened special domestic Courts. Domestic cases are almost always saddled with intra-family issues that need to be addressed (usually through counselling). If you or someone you care about has been charged with a domestic, read these cases to get a feel for the challenges ahead and for how we can meet them. All information has been edited to protect my clients' privacy.
