Understand the charge. Protect your position.

Assault and domestic allegations

An assault allegation can lead to arrest, restrictive release conditions and criminal court proceedings. When an allegation arises in a domestic context, the conditions imposed may also affect contact, the family home and parenting arrangements.

Aftermath Law can assist with reviewing the allegation and disclosure, explaining the court process, addressing release conditions where appropriate and preparing a defence based on the evidence and the applicable law.

Impaired driving and refusal allegations

Impaired driving, over 80 and refusal or failure allegations can carry significant consequences. The issues may include the reason for the stop, demands made by police, timing, testing procedures, statements and Charter rights.

Early advice can help preserve relevant information and clarify the next steps. Bring any paperwork provided by police, including appearance notices, undertakings, licences or vehicle documents.

Bail Hearings

A bail hearing determines whether an accused person can remain in the community while a charge moves through court and on what conditions. Conditions must be followed unless a court or authorized process changes them.

Assistance may include preparing a release plan, discussing potential sureties and presenting the relevant circumstances to the court. Never breach a condition because another person has invited contact.

Uttering threats and other criminal charges

Threat allegations and other Criminal Code charges turn on their specific words, context, evidence and legal elements. Digital messages, recordings, witness accounts and the surrounding relationship may matter.

Dildeep Sahi can discuss the charge, identify the information needed and explain how the matter may proceed. Each case depends on its own facts; no website summary can predict an outcome.

Court preparation and defence

Defence work may include obtaining and reviewing disclosure, identifying legal and factual issues, communicating with the Crown, attending court and preparing for a resolution discussion, motion or trial as appropriate.

You should know what each appearance is for, what decisions are yours to make and what information supports those decisions. Clear communication is central to that preparation.

What to prepare for an initial consultation

• Questions about release conditions, work, travel or family contact
