    Robb MacDonald

    Toronto domestic assault lawyer

    Domestic assault affects society on many levels, creating burdens on public resources and perpetuating cycles of violence. Toronto’s legal system takes a firm stance on domestic assault, recognizing it as a serious violation of human rights and a public matter that requires legal intervention.

    The consequences for domestic assault can be severe, whether allegations stem from a misunderstanding or a serious incident. Robb MacDonald is a Toronto domestic assault lawyer who can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system. He will defend your rights effectively and professionally.

    What Is Domestic Assault?

    Domestic assault concerns acts of physical violence, emotional abuse, sexual assault, threats and harassment. The unique risks associated with intimate partner violence warrant serious attention. It involves incidents between individuals in intimate relationships, such as spouses, partners or family members. Allegations can arise from various circumstances, including:

    • verbal threats
    • physical harm or force
    • sexual assault
    • emotional or psychological abuse
    • financial control or coercion

    Given the nature of these cases, the criminal justice system often errs on the side of caution. In the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), police are required to lay charges whenever there is reasonable suspicion of domestic assault, even if the alleged victim retracts their statement. This can leave individuals feeling unjustly accused, highlighting the importance of having an experienced Toronto domestic assault lawyer.

      I cannot leave this case without telling counsel that, as I’m entering a third decade as a judge on this bench, I can count on one hand the number of times I have said what I’m about to say to counsel. Gentlemen, your courtesy, your civility and your professionalism with one another and to the Court in these proceedings is, in my view, a testament to your considerable skills as advocates.

      I Feel Like I Owe My Life to Robb. I lost my fiancé, my job, and almost my house when I was first charged with these crimes. It felt like no one stood by me. As soon as I met Robb I had the utmost confidence in him and I knew he was the man for the job. He spent countless hours preparing me for the trial. During the trial, he performed an outstanding cross examination on the man who’d accused me of these crimes. At the end of Robb’s cross examination I knew that no one in the court room believed his side of story. Robb was nothing short of a life-saver.

      I had given up hope. I thought there was no way to beat my charges. I spoke to other lawyers before meeting with Robb MacDonald and I was strongly considering entering a guilty plea. When Robb looked at my case, he suggested that we bring a Charter Argument. I didn’t even know what that was. We spent a whole day in court and Robb and the Crown Attorney argued about whether or not my Charter Rights had been violated because I had to wait so long for my trial date. At the end of the day, Robb’s arguments convinced the judge to stay all the charges against me.
