Criminal Defence Lawyer Defends Aggravated Assault Criminal Charges – Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, North York

If you are charged with aggravated assault, it is imperative that you seek and secure representation of a skilled and experienced criminal defence lawyer who will put forward the best defence for your case, advocate on your behalf and provide you with guidance at every step of the criminal justice system. Depending on the facts of the case and when proper strategy is used, it is sometimes possible to get the aggravated charges lessened to a charge of assault causing bodily harm or simple assault before trial. However, this decision is completely up to the Crown Attorney who has the legal power to substitute your charge for a lesser and included offence of the same nature. It is essential that you have a criminal defence lawyer to strategically negotiate on your behalf as early as at the bail hearing stage.

What is Aggravated Assault?

Aggravated Assault under section 268(1) of the Criminal Code is an assault (visit our “assault” page for more info) of one person on another, without their consent, and as a result, he or she wounds, maims, disfigures or endangers the life of that person. An aggravated assault is a serious charge that applies to cases where the other person suffered significant injuries or faced a potential risk of death. The four terms, “wounds, maims, disfigures, or endangers the life”, each describe different kinds of injuries. “Wounds” means breaking the skin but does not include minor cuts. “Maims” includes cases where the person caused broken bones that left the other person less capable of defending themselves. “Disfigures” means the person caused serious facial injuries that were long-lasting or permanent. “Endangers the life” means the person caused the other person to face a risk of losing their life.

Punishment for Aggravated Assault

Aggravated assault is a straight indictable offence because of its seriousness and carries lengthy imprisonment sentences. A finding of guilt on an aggravated assault charge can result in a sentence of up to 14 years in prison, resulting in a criminal record. The sentence imposed largely depends on the facts of the case, the injuries inflicted during the assault, and any aggravating factors such as if there is a previous related criminal conviction for an assault or other violent offence.

At Gavran Criminal Defence, our philosophy is that dedication, attention to detail, well prepared strategy and effective advocacy is what secures the best results.

Ines Gavran was the first lawyer I contacted after my first criminal offence and after speaking to several other lawyers for multiple opinions, I realized that I felt the most reassured by Ms. Gavran. She made me feel comfortable throughout the process and provided me with updates throughout. I was charged in December and thanks to my amazing lawyer, it was dropped in under 5 months! I’m so grateful I found her!

Ines is a hard working individual who plans, articulates and executes her profession to the highest level. During my time working with her, no matter the time, she would communicate whenever she was available. I remember it was very late at night and nevertheless, took the time to call and understand what I was going through. Immediately, she understood what she had to do and even went far to diffuse the situation. As a lawyer, she is someone who you can rely on and have 100% trust in. She's not in it for money. She's in it to give the best results to her clients and this has happened for me. Thank you, Ines!

Talking to Ms. Gavran I was not sure she would get me a discharge. She looked quite young so I was a bit skeptical. But the way she prepared the case and laid down how I should conduct myself and how to answer the questions from the prosecutor and the Judge it was amazing. She made me feel very comfortable and the end was as she had predicted. I would recommend her anytime. Thanks for helping me Ms. Gavran. I am a free man because of you!! Wilfred
