  • Fight Assault Charges in Toronto

    Robb MacDonald has defended numerous criminal assault cases – both simple and complex. Assault allegations may comprise of domestic assault, sexual assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm.

    There are a few basic elements that make up an “assault.” For an individual to be convicted of “assault”, the Crown Prosecutor must convince the court, beyond a reasonable doubt:

    • That the Defendant applied force directly or indirectly to the Complainant
    • That the Defended intended to apply force
    • That the complainant did not consent to the application of force by the accused.

    If the court is not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of each of these factors, the accused will be found not guilty.

    However, the definition of Assault in the Criminal Code of Canada has recently expanded and now criminalizes “attempts” as well as “threats” of assault.

    Toronto assault lawyer Robb has won many assault trials. He has also negotiated to have several assault charges withdrawn or stayed by the Crown Prosecutor.

      I cannot leave this case without telling counsel that, as I’m entering a third decade as a judge on this bench, I can count on one hand the number of times I have said what I’m about to say to counsel. Gentlemen, your courtesy, your civility and your professionalism with one another and to the Court in these proceedings is, in my view, a testament to your considerable skills as advocates.

      I Feel Like I Owe My Life to Robb. I lost my fiancé, my job, and almost my house when I was first charged with these crimes. It felt like no one stood by me. As soon as I met Robb I had the utmost confidence in him and I knew he was the man for the job. He spent countless hours preparing me for the trial. During the trial, he performed an outstanding cross examination on the man who’d accused me of these crimes. At the end of Robb’s cross examination I knew that no one in the court room believed his side of story. Robb was nothing short of a life-saver.

      I had given up hope. I thought there was no way to beat my charges. I spoke to other lawyers before meeting with Robb MacDonald and I was strongly considering entering a guilty plea. When Robb looked at my case, he suggested that we bring a Charter Argument. I didn’t even know what that was. We spent a whole day in court and Robb and the Crown Attorney argued about whether or not my Charter Rights had been violated because I had to wait so long for my trial date. At the end of the day, Robb’s arguments convinced the judge to stay all the charges against me.
