Reliable Assault Lawyer in Edmonton
The simple definition of assault is the contact or attempted contact with someone else without that person’s consent. It’s important to remember that the threat of assault may be all that is required for an assault charge to be issued legally. Actual injury would not have to exist to receive an assault charge.

Different Types of Assault Charges
Different kinds of assault charges exist:
Simple assault
When charged with common assault, it is a hybrid offence. That means that the Crown has an election on how to proceed. It may be by summary conviction or indictment. The latter being the more serious of the two ways the Crown can proceed in Court. However, even if proceeded by summary conviction, due to recent amendments to the Criminal Code, the maximum penalty is two years less one day.
Assault causing bodily harm
Assault with a weapon
Aggravated Assault
Sexual assault
