A couple had quarreled in the Montreal area and the police were called. Our client was charged with assault (section 266 Criminal Code) even if his spouse did not wish to file a complaint.
Our client was thrown out of his house and forbidden to communicate with his spouse.
He hired Xavier Cormier because he wanted to cancel the conditions preventing him from returning to his home and from seeing his spouse before the court date.
The criminal lawyer sent an urgent request to the Court. After hearing the application, the prosecutor dropped the charges and the client was allowed to return to his home.
Not all of Cormier’s clients can benefit from such a fast result. See note.
