Charge of Domestic Assault withdrawn prior to trial, Brampton, Ontario. X.L. had an argument with his common law spouse. Unfortunately, when X.L. left the residence to take a walk, the complainant called police and alleged an assault. X.L. was charged with Assault. Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal lawyer to defend the allegation. Joseph Neuberger obtained disclosure and the statement of the complainant read like a list of all the reasons why X.L. was a bad spouse save and except for being abusive or assaultive. With a proper read, the allegation was extremely weak. Joseph Neuberger wrote to the assigned Crown with a breakdown of the statement and messages sent by the complainant sent to X.L. subsequent to the charge seeking all sorts of financial compensation. After a productive pre-trial, the agreement was that the Crown would withdrawn the charge and the client would sign a peace bond. As a result, the charge was withdrawn.
