Charges of Domestic Assault x 2 withdrawn prior to setting a trial date, Toronto.   M.M. and his wife had a dispute about financial issues.  M.M. was struck by his wife and M.M. restrained his wife.  She broke away from him and called police.  Police attended and charged M.M. with two counts of assault, one allegedly occurring a month prior.  Joseph Neuberger of Neuberger & Partners LLP was retained to defend the charges.  Once the disclosure was received, Joseph Neuberger contacted the assigned Crown and reviewed the details including the fact that in the police notes, it confirmed that the complainant had slapped M.M. first.  An agreement was reached that all parties were to take conflict management counseling.  The program was completed and the charges of Assault x 2 were withdrawn. The client needed the charges withdrawn asap and a trial date was 12 months out.  As such, the offer of counseling and a withdrawal was the most expeditious way of getting the charges withdrawn.
