Are breach charges treated seriously in Ontario?

Breach allegations are often taken seriously because they relate to compliance with court orders. A consultation can help you understand what applies and how your case may be handled.

What if I didn’t understand the conditions clearly?

Many breach matters involve confusion or unclear practical instructions. What matters is the specific condition wording, what happened, and what evidence exists. We can help you understand how that may be assessed.

What if the breach was accidental or unintentional?

Some breaches happen without intent, such as accidental contact or misunderstanding restrictions. A consultation can help you understand how these issues may affect the case.

Can you guarantee the breach charge will be withdrawn?

No lawyer can guarantee an outcome. What we can do is review your matter carefully, explain realistic options, and guide you through the process with a clear plan.
