Defence for Allegations Against a Person
These cases can include assault, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, criminal harassment, uttering threats, robbery, and domestic allegations. The exact wording of the charge and the surrounding relationship shape the defence.
What the Crown Must Prove
The prosecution must prove every element of the specific offence beyond a reasonable doubt. Depending on the charge, live issues may include identity, intent, consent, self-defence, whether a threat was conveyed, and whether the evidence is reliable.
Evidence We Review
- 911 calls, witness statements, photographs, medical records, and police notes
- Body-worn, doorbell, business, and phone video
- Texts, social media, location evidence, and the history of communications
- Inconsistencies, motive, memory, intoxication, and opportunities to observe
- Release conditions, no-contact terms, and evidence relevant to bail
Immediate Conditions Can Reshape Daily Life
A release order may restrict contact, communication, travel, entry to a home, or access to children. Even invited contact can create a new allegation if a court order remains in force. Seek advice before changing any arrangement.
Possible Consequences
The result may affect liberty, employment, professional standing, immigration status, firearms, family proceedings, and personal relationships. The range depends on the exact charge, injuries, record, circumstances, and available sentencing options.
How Broadway Law Prepares the Defence
We test the Crown’s account against the full record, identify admissibility and reliability issues, protect relevant evidence, and prepare for resolution or trial.
