Charges of Domestic Assault x 2 and Mischief Under withdrawn prior to setting a trial date in the Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto.  A.S. was ending a relationship with his girlfriend. The two had been living together for a short period of time.  The complainant still maintained her own apartment.  An argument erupted over why the relationship was ending and when A.S. requested the complainant to leave his apartment, she refused and a pushing match commenced.  The complainant called police and A.S. was charged with two counts of Assault and Mischief to her cell phone.  Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal lawyer to defend A.S.  When Joseph Neuberger reviewed the disclosure including the statement of the complainant and police officer notes, there was inconsistency between the description of the two assaults and the complete lack of any injury and damage to clothing.  The cell phone was intact as well.  Several pre-trials were held and A.S. agreed to take a course of counselling directed at conflict resolution and after successful completion of the course, the charges were withdrawn and A.S. signed a common law peace bond.
