Legal Services
Bail
When the police lay charges against you, depending on the case, they may or may not release you. If you are not released, then you are entitled to reasonable bail, which is your temporary release pending the trial of your matter.
Domestic Violence
Offences that occur within the context of a conjugal relationship are commonly referred to as domestic violence crimes. They occur when you commit for example an assault or a sexual assault against your partner.
Impaired Driving
You are facing these charges if you are caught driving while your ability to drive is impaired by either drug or alcohol or, if the amount of drug or alcohol in your blood (while driving), is above the legal limit. The legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol.
Appeal
Following a trial, a judge or a jury will either acquit you or find you guilty of the charges against you. In some situations there may be grounds to appeal the decision or verdict.
Charter Application
The police may in some circumstances search you, arrest you and or detain you. They are allowed to do so to the extent that they respect your rights guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Assault
Whether it takes place within a domestic context or not, an assault occurs whenever a person applies, threatens or attempts to apply force intentionally to another person.
