Noushin Mazooryi Assault

Assault Defence Lawyer — Domestic & Sexual Assault

An assault charge — whether it involves a domestic partner, an allegation of sexual assault, or a physical altercation with a stranger — is one of the most serious and personally difficult charges a person can face. These cases often carry strict release conditions from the moment you’re charged, and a conviction can affect your family, your employment, and your reputation for years to come. Mazrooyi Law Professional Corporation provides careful, strategic representation for individuals facing assault allegations throughout Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and York Region.

We approach every assault matter with the same combination of discretion and rigour: a full review of the evidence, a clear-eyed assessment of what the Crown can actually prove, and a strategy built around protecting your rights and, where possible, your record.

Types of Assault Charges We Defend

  • Simple assault — the intentional, non-consensual application of force, or a threat to do so, under section 265 of the Criminal Code
  • Domestic assault — assault allegations arising between spouses, partners, or family members, which the courts treat with heightened scrutiny
  • Assault causing bodily harm / assault with a weapon — charges involving visible injury or the use (or threatened use) of a weapon
  • Aggravated assault — the most serious assault charge, involving wounding, maiming, disfigurement, or endangering the life of the complainant
  • Sexual assault — allegations of a sexual nature, ranging in severity and requiring a careful, sensitive, and thorough defence approach
  • Aggravated sexual assault / sexual assault with a weapon — the most serious category of sexual offence, carrying significant mandatory penalties

What You May Be Facing

Assault charges in Ontario carry a wide range of potential outcomes, and the right result for your case depends heavily on the specific facts, your record, and how the evidence holds up:

  • Release conditions — domestic and assault charges commonly come with immediate no-contact conditions, which can affect your living situation before your case is ever heard in court
  • A criminal record — with long-term consequences for employment, travel, and professional licensing
  • Custodial sentences — ranging from short jail terms for less serious assaults to lengthy prison sentences for aggravated or sexual assault convictions
  • Alternative resolutions — including peace bonds, diversion programs, or discharges, which may be available depending on the circumstances and your record


Every case is different, and outcomes depend heavily on the specific evidence and circumstances involved. We give clients a realistic, honest assessment of what’s actually likely in their situation, not just a list of maximum penalties.

How We Approach Assault Defence

  • Thorough disclosure review — examining witness statements, police notes, and any available video or medical evidence for inconsistencies
  • Assessing available defences — including self-defence, consent, identification issues, and credibility challenges, where applicable
  • Navigating release conditions — working to vary restrictive bail or undertaking conditions where appropriate
  • Exploring alternative resolutions — including peace bonds and diversion programs, where they serve your interests
  • Discreet, respectful representation — particularly important in domestic and sexual assault matters, where confidentiality and sensitivity matter throughout the process

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, yes — release conditions in domestic matters commonly include a no-contact provision with the complainant from the outset, even before the case is resolved. We can advise on whether and how those conditions might be varied.

In some cases, yes. Depending on the circumstances, your record, and the strength of the evidence, outcomes such as a peace bond, diversion, or a discharge may be available. Not every case qualifies, and a full review of your specific matter is needed to assess your options.

Sexual assault allegations often turn heavily on credibility and consent, and require a particularly careful, sensitive approach to both the evidence and the defence strategy. We handle these matters with discretion throughout the process.
