Newmarket Domestic Victim Lawyer (to help the accused)

We represent and create supporting affidavits for victims of domestic violence who want to regain contact and help get the charges dropped.

Domestic violence (DV) charges are often unwanted by the alleged victim (herein referred to as the “victim” for brevity). Many want to reunite and have contact again. They don’t want their spouse to go to jail or get a criminal record. Our lawyers help victims maximize their influence in DV cases.

We advocate for supporting victims and create affidavits to help them:

1. Get no-contact conditions lifted;


2. Have the charges dropped/withdrawn (if possible); and,


3. Secure the lowest possible sentence if the accused is found guilty.

DV victims who want to help the accused often feel their voice is not being properly conveyed to the Crown Attorney by the police or VWAP. We represent and create specifically crafted, personalized affidavits for victims who want to help their spouse in cases where the charges are unwanted.

Our lawyers have substantial experience representing domestic victims at the 50 Eagle St W courthouse in Newmarket and know exactly how to help your spouse or partner.

Decisions about what happens in domestic cases are usually made by designated “domestic Crowns” that we have often dealt with many times before. Knowing what has persuaded them in the past is a huge advantage. We also know who to avoid (if possible). Our experience-driven insight into what works and what doesn’t helps us convince the Crown to decide in your favour.

DV victims often feel their previous statements were taken out of context, misinterpreted, or are now being presented inaccurately.

No victim should feel marginalized or be treated unfairly just because they want to help the accused. While not the decision maker, DV victims are usually the Crown’s main witness and an essential part of their case. We make sure your voice is brought to the forefront and properly presented to the Crown and court.

Unwanted domestic charges are common in Ontario and it is not unusual for victims to want to help the accused (even if the relationship is over). We advocate for and protect your wishes and interests to the fullest extent of the law. Even if the Crown seems reluctant to listen to you, we will ensure your important voice is heard.

Our lawyers create personalized, effective affidavits of non-prosecution and provide them directly to the Crown Attorney to maximize your influence in the case.

While the victim services office may only be willing to convey your opinion in a few words (wants contact or doesn’t), we create detailed supporting affidavits that fully explain your side of the story and clearly state what you want to happen next. Affidavits form part of the case evidence and must be considered by the Crown and court by law. Creating a supporting affidavit is the most substantial thing a DV victim can do to help their spouse or partner’s case.

We work closely with our clients to understand their unique situations and then create specific, personally tailored affidavits that contain exactly what is needed.

We do not use boilerplate generic affidavit precedents that don’t work. Even if it takes thousands of unique words, our lawyers will take the time to get everything right. We also ensure nothing is said that will get you in trouble or make things worse. We protect your interests throughout the entire process to maximally help the accused without any negative consequences.
