Wiebe Criminal Defence

If you have a DUI/DWI conviction, your driving license can be suspended automatically, and you may be required to pay high fines or even go to prison. Gerri Wiebe has over 15 years of experience in DUI/DWI cases and is ready to support you. There are different types of assault in Canada, depending on a direct or indirect way to apply force on another person. In your criminal record, an assault charge is only included if there is an actual threat of assault. The least severe type of assault is simple assault, which includes punching or kicking someone. Any non-consensual use of force can lead to a criminal charge, regardless of whether you pushed, pulled, or spat on someone. Simple assault charges can be filed as hybrid crimes. The Crown prosecutor may select the offense to be dismissed as a less severe summary conviction or an indictable offense. The maximum sentence for an indictment is a jail term of up to 5 years.
