Charges of Assault x 3, and Assault with a Weapon (Domestic) all withdrawn at first court appearance.  W.W. was confronted by his girlfriend about an alleged affair (she misread a text message) and the girlfriend/complainant severely assaulted W.W.  W.W. called 911.  W.W. went to hospital with a gash to his left eyebrow, multiple abrasions and a possible concussion.  W.W. gave a brief statement to police at the hospital but the complainant gave a video recorded statement at the police station at the same time.  When released from the hospital, W.W. was charged with assaulting his girlfriend.  Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal defence lawyer.  Joseph Neuberger obtained the medical records and pictures of the injuries of W.W.  Joseph Neuberger drafted a detailed disclosure letter not only seeking disclosure but a detailed response to how a decision was made to charge his client.  Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger also provided the medical records and pictures in support and suggested in the letter that not only was his client wrongfully accused, but there was an obvious gender bias that can result in a lawsuit.  On the first appearance the Crown withdrew all charges.
