Assault charges in Ontario range from simple assault to aggravated assault and sexual assault, each carrying different potential penalties. The Criminal Code of Canada treats all forms of assault seriously, and a conviction can result in a permanent criminal record, jail time, probation, and restrictions that affect your employment, travel, and personal life.
At Batish Law, we understand the gravity of these charges and the impact they can have on every aspect of your life. Our criminal defence lawyers in Brampton and Mississauga meticulously analyze the evidence, identify weaknesses in the Crown's case, and develop a defence strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.
Whether you are facing allegations of domestic assault, aggravated assault, or sexual assault, early legal intervention is critical. We work to protect your rights from the moment you retain us — challenging improper police conduct, negotiating with the Crown, and fighting for the best possible outcome at trial.

How We Defend You
Self-defence — establishing that your actions were a reasonable response to a threat
Consent — demonstrating that the alleged victim consented to the physical contact
Identity — challenging the Crown's evidence that you were the person who committed the act
Lack of intent — proving there was no deliberate intention to apply force
Charter rights violations — suppressing evidence obtained through unlawful search or arrest
What's at Stake
Assault charges in Canada carry penalties ranging from fines and probation for simple assault to a maximum of 14 years imprisonment for aggravated assault. Sexual assault convictions can result in mandatory sex offender registration. A conviction creates a permanent criminal record affecting employment, travel to the United States, and custody arrangements.
