What Married Couples Should Know about Domestic Assault Charges

Описание: In this video I discuss what married couples in Ontario can expect after a husband or wife has been arrested for domestic assault. This includes an overview of the major legal, logistical and emotional challenges couples should expect from the moment of arrest to the conclusion of the court case.

As a criminal lawyer focused on domestic cases, I appreciate that the challenges facing married couples and their families are unique. I wanted to take the time to address this critical but often confusing area of the law, with the goal of expanding on core topics in greater detail in future videos.

As always, please note that the information contained in this video is not legal advice. Legal advice is tailored to the specific facts of a given case and is based on a properly established lawyer-client relationship. YouTube is not an appropriate space for obtaining legal advice, so if you require assistance please contact us or visit www.shaffielaw.ca. Alternatively, you can contact the Law Society of Ontario's Lawyer Referral Service to be put in touch with a qualified lawyer in the province.
