Professional and travel consequences may matter
Employment, vulnerable-sector work, licensing, border travel, immigration, and background checks should be considered early where relevant.

Common Questions
Assault charge questions Burlington clients often ask.
Can a Burlington assault charge affect professional licensing?
It may, depending on the profession, reporting obligations, background checks, conditions, and the final outcome.
Should I collect my own evidence?
Preserve records, but do not contact prohibited people or interfere with witnesses. Get legal advice on how evidence should be handled.
What if police did not get my side?
Speak with a lawyer before giving a statement. There may be safer ways to address defence evidence through the legal process.
