Charges of Assault (Domestic) x 2 and Utter Death Threats withdrawn prior to setting trial dates, Toronto. L.S. and his wife had been married for about eight years but for the six months up to the date of L.S. being charged, the couple had numerous arguments about the family finances. About two days before L.S. was charged, the arguments got intense, and the complainant slapped L.S. and then L.S. got physical. The police were called and L.S. was charged with the domestic abuse allegations. L.S. retained Joseph Neuberger, Grace Condello and Daisy Zhang of Neuberger & Partners LLP, Toronto Criminal Lawyers, to defend him. Grace Condello and Daisy Zhang made arrangements for L.S. to see a Mandarin speaking therapist as clearly there was an unhealthy dynamic in the manner in which L.S. and the complainant communicated. Joseph Neuberger assisted with speaking with the family lawyers and eventually through mediated discussions, L.S. and the complainant wanted to reconcile. A bail variation was granted so that L.S. could be in contact with his wife and after therapy and several pre-trials, the charges were formally withdrawn.
