No Contact Orders in Domestic Assault Cases: What You Should Know

No contact orders are by far the most commonly cited source of pain stemming from Ontario domestic assault cases. In this video Shaffie Law continues to build on its zero-cost to the public domestic violence content by exploring no contact orders in depth: what they are, what they’re designed to accomplish, how they can be removed, and the specific steps Ontarians can take to maximize their chances of modifying them. We also take a deep dive into a topic that’s rarely discussed in the context of no contact orders: the role victims play in the process, and whether they should hire their own domestic violence lawyer.  As a criminal lawyer specializing in domestic cases, my law firm receives at least a dozen calls weekly about no contact orders. We hope this video helps to establish a foundation in understanding the basics of this topic. Note that the information contained in this video is not legal advice. Legal advice is tailored to the specific facts of a given case and is based on a properly established lawyer-client relationship.
