My best friend got into a fight with his neighbor and was slapped with a simple assault charge. This was an extremely stressful (and TBH stupid) incident for him. Mustafa was confident and knowledgeable, the moment we talked to him we knew this thing is going to be solved, and fast forward a few months later everything was settled smoothly. Thank you Mustafa!

I contacted WTL and was lucky to get Mustafa himself. My young boy was in some serious hot water. I was terrified for him. Right from the start Mustafa gave us the confidence we needed, and was on it like nobody’s business! Things all worked out, if you are in trouble, scared, don’t know what to do, call WTL they know exactly what to do!

We Handle All Types of Assault Cases
Simple Assault
As the most basic of the assault charges, the accused can be charged one of two ways: summary or indictable. The summary conviction is the lesser of the two and is generally processed by a judge without a long drawn out trial. With a summary conviction there is no jail term served. However, if it is treated as indictable conviction, there will be an official court process where the penalty will be more severe than a summary conviction.
When there are serious injuries, long term harm or chance of death for the victim, this is grounds for an aggravated assault charge. This a more serious charge and will always be indictable, therefore, if convicted in court the accused faces up to 14 years jail time.
The same process is involved when charged with aggravated sexual assault, as the injuries that occurred to the victim are harsher. If a weapon was used the minimum sentence issued is four years, if convicted.
Aggravated Assault
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is deemed that when threat or violence is used for non-consensual sex. Like simple assault it can be charged one of two ways- summary or indictable and sentences can range between 18 months to 10 years depending on the severity of the charge.
Domestic Assault
In Ontario, there are extra regulations if someone is charged with a Domestic assault charge. Many times, as part of their bail restrictions the accused is not allowed to contact their loved ones until the case is reviewed in the courts. While being investigated the accused can be subject to zero tolerance policy, even if the victim does not want to go to court.
All assault charges have different levels of severity, the best defense in these cases is to hire one of our specialized Aggravated Assault Lawyers, Domestic Assault Lawyer or Sexual Assault Lawyers to represent against any assault charges.

Understanding Assault Charges
Assault charges in Canada cover a wide range of actions that vary greatly in their severity and circumstances. Essentially, assault involves either the intentional application of force to another individual without their consent, or the threat of such force. This can range from minor acts like a shove or a slap to more severe actions that involve weapons or result in bodily harm. It's important to note that assault charges can also arise from mere threats or attempts to apply force if the victim perceives them as real.
