What is assault?

Criminal Code Definition of Assault:

265 (1) A person commits an assault when

without the consent of another person, he applies force intentionally to that other person, directly or indirectly;
he attempts or threatens, by an act or a gesture, to apply force to another person, if he has, or causes that other person to believe on reasonable grounds that he has, present ability to effect his purpose; or while openly wearing or carrying a weapon or an imitation thereof, he accosts or impedes another person or begs.

Assault is a serious charge which can occur whether or not force was actually used or just attempted or threatened.

I reached out to Alex seeking advice when I was on the receiving end of criminal harassment. Alex openly acknowledged his specialization is a Criminal Defence Lawyer. Nevertheless, he provided me with straightforward & honest guidance on how to proceed. He not only steered me in the right direction, he also referred me to another lawyer (highly) capable of handling my situation. He even ensured to follow up to see if I received a call. It is patently clear that Alex has a strong sense of integrity, demonstrated by his response. Therefore, I highly recommend his services. Thank you, Alex. Molly

We’ve worked with Alex and could not ask for a more professional and understanding experience. Communication was very clear with him. He explained our situation to us and what needs to be done. Hopefully we won’t have to but if there’s ever need for legal help again, we’re coming right back to Alex.

I would recommend Alex De Boyrie Law to anyone going through a criminal case, he is professional, attentive and works hard to get the best resolution as quickly as possible. I found myself in some hot water that was pretty serious and Alex worked to have my charges completely dismissed. He was successful. I am so happy, thankful and appreciative. Having a criminal record could have hindered me for the rest of my life. He was available anytime I needed him either by text, phone, or meetings. Thank you again Alex for all you did for me, you are truly a God send!
