A client of Mr. Xavier Cormier, a criminal lawyer, was charged with domestic violence by his spouse. The Crown therefore laid charges of assault against him. An order forbade the client from then on to show up at his residence or to contact his spouse in any way.
Mr.Cormier undertook discussions with the prosecutor. The plaintiff was seen by a social worker. As of the second hearing in Court, the order was amended so that the client could once again contact his spouse and return to his residence. Mr.Cormier pursued discussions with the prosecutor. The complaint was finally dropped, the client was acquitted, on the sole condition that he agree to a peace bond for a year.
It is important for any individual charged with an offence in a case of conjugal violence to consult a criminal defense lawyer.
Not all clients of Mr. Cormier are acquitted of their charges. Read the notice.
