Assault

What is Assault?

Assault is defined under section 265(1) of the Criminal Code. A person can be charged with assault when force is intentionally applied directly or indirectly on another person, without the other person’s consent. This definition also applied to all forms of assault, including sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, assault with a weapon, threats to a third party or causing bodily harm and aggravated assault. in other words, an assault charge can result when a person makes physical contact on purpose, and the other person did not agree to the contact. An assault charge can be laid if there is an attempt or threat to apply force by the use of acts or gestures, and the other person believes that there be or could have been physical contact. For example, if a person approaches someone and tries to punch them but they miss, the person can still be charged with assault. An assault charge can be laid even if it the force used is not serious, and there were no injuries to another person. Technically, any physical contact can be considered an assault if the contact was intentional and the other person did not consent. Behaviors like a slap, spitting on someone, or grabbing someone’s clothes can constitute an assault.

Punishment for Assault and Assault with Intent to Resist Arrest

A conviction on an assault can result a sentence such as lengthy probation, including a criminal record, and imprisonment up to 6 months if the Crown proceeds summarily. In serious cases, where the Crown proceeds by indictment, the maximum imprisonment sentence is five years. The same maximum sentences, whether the Crown proceeds summarily and by indictment, applies to assaults on a peace officer who is engaged in execution of his or her duty, or assaults with intent to resist or prevent lawful arrest.

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
