Defending Your Rights. Protecting Your Future.

Experienced Assault Lawyers in Brampton.

Assault charges are serious. A conviction can mean jail, a criminal record, and lasting impacts on work, travel, and family life. If you’ve been charged—or are under investigation—in Brampton or Peel Region, you need a focused, experienced assault defence lawyer on your side from day one.

We deliver strategic, tailored representation. We explain your options clearly, challenge weak evidence, and move fast to protect your rights and future.

At Polaris Legal Group, our team has extensive experience defending clients against Assault charges in Brampton and the GTA. We know how to identify police errors, procedural violations, and weak evidence to give you the best chance of success.

Types of Assault Charges We Defend

Simple Assault (s.266)

Involves force/threats without serious injury.

  • Summary conviction: up to 2 years less a day and/or a fine
  • Indictable: up to 5 years’ imprisonment

Assault with a Weapon / Causing Bodily Harm (s.267)

Covers assaults involving a weapon (including everyday objects used as weapons) or injuries that interfere with health/comfort.

  • Indictable maximum: up to 10 years

Aggravated Assault (s.268)

Involves wounding, maiming, disfiguring, or endangering life.

  • Indictable only, with the highest penalties among non-sexual assault offences.

Assaulting a Peace Officer (s.270)

Assault on police or public officers in the course of duty (including resisting lawful arrest).

  • Indictable maximum: up to 5 years
  • With weapon/bodily harm: up to 10 years

Sexual Assault (s.271+)

Any sexual contact without consent. Penalties vary with factors like age of the complainant, bodily harm, or weapons, and can be very severe.

Domestic Assault

Not a separate offence, but domestic context is an aggravating factor at sentencing. Expect stricter bail terms and closer court scrutiny.

How We Defend Your Assault Charges

Defending Good People Against Serious Assault Charges.

Our experienced Brampton Assault lawyers explore every angle of your case, including:

  • Self-Defence / Defence of Others: Your response was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances.
  • Consent (where applicable): The contact was consensual (limited applicability; not available where serious harm/death results).
  • Identity / Reliability: Misidentification, inconsistent witness accounts, unreliable or incomplete CCTV.
  • Charter Breaches: Unlawful detention, search, or statement—seek to exclude evidence.
  • Evidentiary Challenges: Gaps in medical proof of bodily harm, lack of causation, late or missing disclosure.
  • Early Resolutions: Diversion, peace bonds, restorative options (when appropriate) to minimize long-term impact.

Every case is unique—our job is to uncover the errors, inconsistencies, and violations that can lead to reduced charges or full dismissal.
