Ottawa Domestic Victim Lawyer: We represent DV victims who want to help the accused.

We represent and create supporting affidavits for victims of domestic violence in Ottawa who want to regain contact and help their accused partner avoid punishment (get the charges dropped).

Domestic violence (DV) charges are often unwanted by the alleged victim (the “victim” for brevity). Many DV victims want to reunite and have contact again soon after the charges are laid. They also don’t want their spouse to go to jail or get a criminal record.

DV victims who support the accused sometimes feel their opinions and wishes are being ignored. The victim is always supposed to be an important part of the court's decision making process in Canada.

Not being prioritized? Our lawyers will make sure your voice is heard.

If your evidence, opinions, and wishes are not being properly conveyed to the Crown Attorney by the police or VWAP, we can help. We provide lawyer representation to the Crown and create specifically crafted, personalized affidavits for victims who want to help their spouse (charges unwanted).

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 Have the charges dropped/withdrawn (if possible); and,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

Our lawyers have substantial experience representing domestic victims at the 161 Elgin St courthouse in Ottawa 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 bring your voice to the forefront of the Crown and court's attention.

Unwanted domestic charges are common in Ontario. 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 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.
