DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYER IN SURREY
Situations leading to domestic violence can arise in the heat of the moment, but the consequences can last a lifetime. If you’ve received a domestic violence charge, you need a lawyer who can protect your rights and provide expert legal advice.
Domestic violence doesn’t have a simple definition because it can get a combination of various acts. Every case that is categorized as “domestic violence” is, therefore, unique and will have different results based on the severity of injuries and behaviours.
Jaswal & Krueger Criminal Defence Lawyers will represent your interests and work to secure a fair outcome, usually avoiding a criminal record. Wherever you live in British Columbia, we can offer support and guidance throughout the legal process.
Domestic Violence Charges
Domestic violence can be between a partner, family members, children, spouse, a girlfriend or boyfriend. It can be emotional abuse, family violence, and spousal abuse. Violence in a household doesn’t always include assault. It can consist of threats, coercion, or stalking. Essentially, domestic violence is where an individual exerts a possessive control over another party within their household. These types of actions can fall under both criminal law and family law.
While we do not practice family law, it is in our experience that partners sometimes lie about domestic violence to restrict access to the children in the relationship or to try and force an unequal divorce settlement.

We will assess your case to determine the best way to proceed to protect your innocence and any family law proceedings.

What to Expect from Jaswal & Krueger
In our initial consultation, our trained lawyers will explain the charges against you. We will listen to your story, examine the evidence, and build your case. Then, we’ll pursue whatever avenues are necessary to achieve the best possible results for you, whether that be negotiation with the prosecutor, communication with the complainant’s lawyer, or ultimately a full trial.
If you’ve been charged with domestic assault, you might have been placed under criminal law conditions that prevent you from returning to your family home or speaking with your spouse. One of the first things a Jaswal & Krueger lawyer will do is explain these conditions to you and work towards changing these conditions to get your life back to normal.
With domestic violence charges, many people believe that it is up to the complainant to drop the charges, but that isn’t how it works.
The police recommend charges, and the prosecutor decides whether or not to proceed. There are two reasons a prosecutor may drop the charges:
Our lawyers will put forward the best possible case to influence prosecutors to drop the charges against you. For the best outcome, hire Jaswal & Krueger
