It was alleged that during a heated argument with his wife, K.S. pushed her and threatened to kill her. The incident occurred when K.S. was heavily intoxicated and was highly out of character. Upon police arrival, K.S. admitted to the incident and was arrested for assault and uttering threats.

Cory Wilson was able to have the charges withdrawn after K.S. completed 7 counselling sessions focusing on anger management and domestic violence. As a result, K.S. was left with no criminal record for the incident.

D.L. was accused of assaulting her teenaged daughter during a verbal altercation. A neighbor called the police after hearing screaming and loud banging noises. Police attended the house and D.L and her daughter both had marks on their faces. The daughter told police that D.L. had a history of assaulting her during arguments.

Despite the severity of the allegations, Cory Wilson was able to negotiate a Peace Bond that saw the criminal charge withdrawn and D.L enter into a Peace Bond. As a result, she was left with no criminal record for the incident.

Our client was accused of breaking into his girlfriend’s house after she found out he was married and tried to break up with him. It was further alleged that during the argument, he strangled her to the point of unconsciousness and punched her multiple times.

The complainant gave a number of statements to police, each contradicting the others. Though police observed injuries to the complainant, the fact she gave contradictory statements caused significant credibility issues.

Cory Wilson met with the prosecutor and exposed these problems with their case. After multiple meetings, the prosecutor agreed that the likelihood of conviction was much lower than they previously believed. Though S.B. was facing significant jail time if convicted of the original charges, Cory was able to have all of the charges withdrawn and S.B. entered into a Peace Bond in which he had to attend for anger management and domestic violence counselling.

This was an incredibly fortunate resolution for S.B. as he was facing serious jail time and immigration consequences that may have resulted in his being deported.

J.B. was accused of assaulting her mother during a heated argument in a car. The mother alleged that J.B. struck her in the head with a cell phone. The two had a very volatile relationship that apparently resulted in physical confrontation over the years. Both J.B. and her mother suffered from varying mental health issues that contributed to the allegations.

After speaking to the prosecutor about the mental health concerns, J.B.’s criminal charge was withdrawn and she entered into a Peace Bond focused on counselling.

It was alleged that M.B. bit her husband during a heated argument. Police attended and conducted a limited investigation, essentially taking the husband’s version of events as being accurate, despite no bite marks on his body where he claimed to have been bitten. M.B. absolutely denied biting her husband or ever being violent with him.

Rather than got to the expense and stress of trial, M.B. asked Cory Wilson to resolve her matter by Peace Bond so that she could put the incident behind her. After discussions with the prosecutor, the criminal charges were withdrawn and M.B. entered into a Peace Bond. This allowed her to move on with her life and put the entire incident behind her.

D.R. was accused of assaulting her husband who suffered from mental health issues. The couple were having a heated argument while children were present in the other house. D.R.’s husband decided to call 9-1-1 and claim that she had punched him on the side of the face. Police attended the residence and noted that the husband had no marks on his face. Police then spoke with D.R. who was now with her mother-in-law. Both tried to explain to the police officers that the husband had mental health issues and made claims of assault in the past. Police informed D.R. that they didn’t believe she did anything, but because of their domestic violence policy in which they charge a person once a complaint is made, they had no option.

After learning that police claimed they had no option but to charge, Cory Wilson called the Crown Prosecutor, explained the background and had the charges withdrawn.

Police should have never charged D.R. as there were no grounds to believe she committed a criminal offence. Thankfully, the Crown was able to see the significant issue once Cory brought it to her attention.

The client and his wife were experiencing marital difficulties as a result of COVID and the financial strain it caused. After several nights of arguing, F.D.’s wife was yelling in his face and he made the alcohol-fueled decision to push her away by using his head in a head-butting motion. She fell to the ground and was left with a noticeable mark on her heard. Police attended and F.D. admitted to headbutting his wife.

As a result of resolution discussions, the Crown Prosecutor agreed that the matter could be resolved by Peace Bond with the condition that F.D. attend for anger management and domestic violence counselling.

Given the fact F.D. confessed to the allegation, this was a very favorable outcome that insured he was left with no criminal record. This was very important as his immigration status would be in jeopardy if he were to be convicted.

R.K. was charged with assault because of allegations his ex-girlfriend made about him right when they broke-up. It was alleged that R.K. would get drunk, get angry and sometimes slap or push the complainant. She was going to let it go but after the break-up, he kept showing up at her house causing her fear.

R.K. was facing a number of charges including assault and criminal harassment. R.K. was in Canada on a working Visa and would be removed from the country if he was convicted of a criminal offence.

After resolution discussions with the prosecutor, Cory Wilson was able to have the matter resolved by Peace Bond. This was a fantastic resolution for R.K. as he was able to remain in the country and continue to seek citizenship.

A.S. and his girlfriend were both intoxicated and had a heated argument inside their apartment. The neighbors overheard the argument and then observed the girlfriend run outside followed by A.S. who grabbed her from behind. The neighbor called police after she observed A.S. wrap his arm around his girlfriend’s neck and seemingly choke her to the ground.

Given the choking allegation, the Crown was not initially agreeable to resolving the matter by Peace Bond so a trial was set. Closer to the trial date, Cory Wilson presented the prosecutor with a package of character letters and documentation showing the incredible steps A.S. took to deal with his drinking problem. As a result, the prosecutor agreed to cancel the trial and A.S. was given a Peace Bond.

This was the best outcome for A.S. as he was left with no criminal record for the incident.

After a night of consuming drugs, S.K. got into a heated verbal argument about his consumption of drugs. S.K. attempted to leave the room but the complainant continued with the verbal attacks. Out of anger, S.K. picked-up a chair and threw it into the room. Unfortunately, the chair bounced off a fish tank and struck the complainant in the jaw, causing her significant pain. Police were called and S.K. was charged with assault.

After reviewing disclosure, Cory Wilson explained to the prosecutor that S.K. had a defence as he did not intend the chair to hit the complainant – it was a complete accident. The Crown agreed to withdraw the charges and S.K. was entered into a Peace Bond.

This was a great outcome as S.K. was left with no criminal record and did not have to endure the cost or stress of proceeding to trial.
