A client of the Cormier Simard law firm had been arrested for assault following a marital dispute (Section 266 b) Criminal Code). After the beginning of legal procedures, an application for firearms possession prohibition order was signified to him (Section 111 Criminal Code). The client wished to keep his firearms license in order not to limit his professional future.
The client also denied the charges. Two Prosecutors were assigned to the case: one for the assault charges, and the other for the firearms possession. Procedures and negotiations undertaken by Xavier Cormier lasted a long time, that is slightly over a year. First of all, a withdrawal of the charges of violence was obtained. A few months later, the Prosecutor responsible for the firearms case also agreed to withdraw the preventive application for prohibition to possess firearms.
Not all clients of Xavier Cormier obtain a withdrawal of charges. See notice.
