Identify the words alleged and where that account comes from

Keep the charge papers or police request and identify the communication being questioned. Distinguish an original message or recording from a quotation in a statement, a forwarded extract or someone’s recollection. If you do not know the exact words alleged, say so rather than completing the account from memory. Note the date, medium and people involved, together with what you have already been asked to provide. Spoken words, written messages and communications conveyed through another person can raise different evidence questions that counsel should assess against the actual allegation.

Keep the surrounding exchange and your explanation separate

Preserve the full conversation you can lawfully access, including material before and after the quoted passage. For a recording, retain the original file rather than only a short excerpt. Make separate notes about the setting, tone, people present and anything you do not remember clearly. If words were spoken or written in another language, keep the original and identify any informal translation already supplied; do not replace the source material with a paraphrase. Counsel can discuss what further records or translation may be needed. An explanation that the words were a joke or not intended to be acted on does not, by itself, settle the legal issue.

Explain any dispute about the speaker, account or relay

If you dispute authorship or the accuracy of an account, identify the point precisely. It may concern who spoke, who used an account, which conversation was quoted or how words were repeated to someone else. Keep the available timestamps, account details and full exchanges that you lawfully hold, and distinguish a known fact from a question you want investigated. Do not access another person’s account, delete messages or ask a witness to change their account. Counsel can compare the material with disclosure and identify what is missing without assuming that a screenshot or account name answers every issue.

Check contact restrictions before trying to explain the exchange

Have the latest undertaking, release order and any related court order available. Read the exact direct-contact, indirect-contact or location term and any written exception. Sending an explanation or apology through a friend may still breach a restriction. A reply, invitation or apparent reconciliation does not change a binding condition. Raise practical concerns, including work or family communication, with counsel while continuing to follow the current terms. Uttering threats and criminal harassment have different legal requirements; if both appear on the papers, identify each count rather than treating one label as a substitute for the other.

Bring the immediate question and next date to the consultation

Tell the firm whether police are seeking a response, charges have been laid or disclosure has arrived, and what decision you need help with. Keep court and fingerprint instructions separate from an office appointment. The actual papers and later court directions determine attendance; a Mississauga address or a consultation request does not assign the court or excuse an appearance. If you are seeking protection rather than responding to an allegation, the peace-bond guide explains a separate criminal-law procedure. Seek separate advice from a family-law practitioner about family protection orders.

Agree on the review and representation at the Mississauga office

The office is at 250 Dundas Street West, Suite 402, Mississauga, ON L5B 1J2, with visits by appointment only. Consultations with Dildeep Sahi are available in English, Punjabi and Hindi. The free initial consultation discusses your situation, options and possible representation. Keep the first enquiry brief and arrange how complete communications or other sensitive records should be reviewed. Detailed evidence review, a legal opinion, negotiations or court attendance require separately agreed work after the firm considers the matter, conflicts and availability. Sending an enquiry does not confirm that a lawyer is acting or change an existing obligation.

Preparing for the first conversation

Identify the alleged communication, date and source of the account, marking anything you do not yet know.
Preserve complete lawful originals and keep recollections, explanations and informal translations separate.
Have the exact current contact terms and all court or fingerprint instructions available.
List the next decision needing advice and arrange detailed records review directly with the firm.

Keep the initial website enquiry brief. Do not upload or send sensitive documents through the form; arrange any document review directly with the firm.

You do not need every item before getting in touch. Mention any approaching court or response date.

Common questions

Can I seek advice if I have not seen the exact words alleged?

Yes. Explain what police have asked, what papers you have and what is still unknown. Do not guess at a missing quotation. An initial discussion can identify the next questions, while a complete assessment requires the available record and separately agreed review.

Does saying it was a joke or that I would never act on it resolve the charge?

No. Context and the required intent need assessment. An intention to carry out the words is a different question from whether they were intended to be taken seriously or intimidate. Preserve the full exchange and discuss the actual allegation rather than relying on a short explanation alone.

Should I send an apology or ask someone else to explain for me?

Discuss any proposed apology or explanation privately with your lawyer before sending it, directly or through someone else. Do not send a message that would breach current terms. Keep the exact restrictions and any written exceptions available for advice. A private invitation or an incoming message does not itself change a binding condition.

Is this form for reporting threats or obtaining a protection order?

No. This page offers defence advice about an allegation. If you are seeking protection, read the peace-bond guide for that separate criminal-law procedure. Obtain advice from a family-law practitioner about family protection orders. An enquiry does not file a complaint or put an order in place; follow the safety notice if you are in immediate danger or a reply could put you at risk.

Does the free consultation include a full message review or court attendance?

No. It discusses your situation, options and possible representation. Detailed review and attendance must be expressly agreed after the firm checks the matter, conflicts and availability. Office visits in Mississauga are by appointment only.
