M.I. was charged with Assault with a Weapon against his partner, Toronto. M.I. had an argument with his common law partner, the complainant. M.I. allegedly threw a glass cup into the complainant, missing her and hitting the wall. Alcohol was a factor. M.I. retained Mariya Protsenko of Neuberger and Partners LLP, Criminal Defence Lawyers. Mariya reviewed the disclosure. Aggravating factors were that M.I. had a conviction for an assault against his previous wife and a peace bond against his current partner. Mariya had a pre-trail with the assigned Crown Attorney. Mariya was able to convince the Crown Attorney that a trial was not in the best interests of M.I., the complainant and society. The client started the PARS anger management course but has failed it. Mariya had further discussions with the prosecutor and M.I. was allowed to complete private counseling. Upon completion, the client entered into a peace bond and the criminal charge of Assault with a Weapon was withdrawn.
