A client of criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier was charged with assaulting his spouse (Section 266 b) Criminal Code of Canada). Therefore the charges were related to domestic violence. Following the client’s arrest, he was let out of custody on condition that he did not contact the plaintiff. Mr. Cormier had discussions with the Prosecutor when the case came back to Court. As for the plaintiff, she met with a social worker. The client’s liberation conditions were modified and he was once again allowed to contact the plaintiff. A few weeks later, the charges were dropped by the Prosecutor and the client was acquitted.
Not all Mr. Cormier’s clients are acquitted of their charges. See notice.
