R. v. M.S.M.

(Didsbury, P.C. - Domestic Violence).  MSM was charged with uttering threats and intimidation in relation to a case investigated in Didsbury, Alberta.  On review of the disclosure, David Chow advised his client that it was his opinion that MSM had a good prospect of successfully defending the case. Strong concerns were communicated that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction in relation to the intimidation charge and very weak case with respect to the allegation of uttering threats. Notwithstanding the strong defence, the accused was advised -- as all should be -- about the risk of proceeding to trial; even in a seemingly very strong case. Discussions occurred between the defence and Crown.  Though the specifics of those discussions cannot be discussed, the Prosecutor properly screened and assessed the file and agreed to resolve the case by way of a peace bond with reasonable conditions. A peace bond resolution does not involve a criminal record; the avoidance of which is usually the first priority for any criminal defence lawyer. If you have been charged with a domestic violence incident in Alberta, David Chow would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.  David Chow is a Didsbury domestic violence lawyer who offers a free consultation for all domestic violence cases.
