DO YOU NEED A LAWYER FOR FAMILY LAW MEDIATION?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ASSAULT CASES

Domestic violence allegations are serious and can have long-lasting consequences including:

  • Criminal records

  • Restricted contact with family

  • Jail time

At Birring Law, we understand how sensitive and complex these cases are. Often, police will lay charges first, leaving it to the court to determine guilt or innocence. You may be barred from seeing your children or spouse while charges are pending.

HOW BIRRING LAW CAN HELP YOU IF ARE FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES

To secure a conviction, the Crown must prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Charges may include:

  • Criminal harassment
  • Threats
  • Stalking
  • Assault or bodily harm

Without proper legal support, these charges can escalate quickly. Our team at Birring Law will thoroughly assess your case, protect your rights, and work to achieve the best possible outcome.

We are known for our dedication, discretion, and success in defending clients facing domestic assault charges. If you’ve been charged, contact us immediately to discuss your case.
