Charge of Domestic Assault withdrawn prior to setting trial date. The client was charged with domestic assault and retained Grace Condello of Neuberger & Partners, Toronto Criminal Lawyers. The client ended his relationship with the complainant after several months of dating. The client told the complainant that she had to move out of his apartment. The complainant told the client that her family lived approximately 2 hours away from Toronto and she wanted to live in the city. She was very angry at O.U. The complainant contacted police the next day and falsely accused the client of assault. Ms. O.U. was arrested and released by police but on terms that he could not return to his apartment. The complainant refused to move out of the apartment and the client had conditions that he could not communicate or be in contact with the complainant. The client was paying the rent for several months before retaining the firm. A trespass notice was issued and filed with Toronto Police by Neuberger & Partners. Ultimately, the complainant moved out of the apartment after 4 months. Ms. Condello was able to convince the Crown Attorney that the complainant misled police not only about her allegation but also about a fake witness (the witness refused to speak with police). Ms. Condello also provided the Crown with proof that the complainant caused damage to the client’s apartment during the four months she refused to vacate. The client was not required to enter into a peace bond and the charge of Assault was withdrawn.
