Charge of Domestic Assault and Mischief withdrawn well prior to setting a trial date, Newmarket. K.W. and his wife were having marital issues. An argument erupted regarding finances of the family and relationship issues. The complainant wanted K.W. to leave the home and live somewhere else. When he refused, a 911 call was made by the complainant and K.W. was charged with Assault and Mischief. Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal defence lawyer. Shortly after the charges were laid, the complainant sent a letter to the Crown about the motive for calling the police. This was also send to Joseph Neuberger. In reviewing the statement and 911 call, it was apparent, as so often we see in these cases, more concern by the complainant about the relationship than issues about any type of domestic violence. A Zoom conference was set up with a judge and the assigned Crown. There were two children of the marriage and the parties wanted to reconcile. Joseph Neuberger arranged for joint marriage counselling and therapy on conflict management. After successful completion of the therapy, the charges were withdrawn.
