Charges of Domestic Assault and Mischief Under withdrawn after extensive pre-trial discussions with the Crown.  The complainant and M.Y. were in the midst of a separation.  An argument erupted over an issue about support.  The complainant called police and alleged that M.Y. had pushed her and grabbed her.  M.Y. was arrested, and ordered to have no contact and not return to the home.  Joseph Neuberger was retained as the defence lawyer.  During the course of the criminal proceeding, the complainant wrote to the Crown that she wished to reconcile and have marriage counselling.  This was communicated to Joseph Neuberger.  Joseph Neuberger spoke with his client and he was in favour of marriage counselling and reconciliation.  Joseph Neuberger had several pre-trials with the Crown Attorney and worked out a therapy program for M.Y. that would then turn into marriage counselling. The Crown agreed to withdraw the charge after M.Y. completed 12 sessions successfully.  This was done, and the charges were withdrawn.
