Understanding uttering threats allegations
The Criminal Code addresses knowingly communicating certain threats, including threats of death or bodily harm, property damage, and harm to an animal belonging to another person. The specific words, meaning, and surrounding circumstances require close attention.
Preparing your uttering threats defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The complete conversation and how the words were conveyed
- Audio, messages, witness accounts, and attribution
- The context and required intent
- Whether the evidence establishes the particular offence charged
What to do before you contact us
Save the complete exchange without editing it. Avoid further communications that could breach release conditions. Bring the original wording of the allegation and your court paperwork to a consultation.
Coordinate your Milton matter and consultation dates
Before contacting the firm from Milton, list the dates on your documents beside any scheduling concern you want to raise. Distinguish an appearance from an appointment with a lawyer. If new paperwork arrives after you book, ask how to get it reviewed before making assumptions about a changed date.
Use the consultation to discuss the work proposed, how fees will be explained, and who will provide updates. Mention an existing Legal Aid certificate when enquiring so coverage and availability can be checked. Confirm your Brampton consultation arrangements separately from any attendance required in Milton.
Milton court and consultation appointments
The Ontario Court of Justice lists Milton Courthouse at 491 Steeles Avenue East. If your matter is scheduled there, check the court’s current attendance information. An appointment with Stratton Law at our Brampton office is separate from that court date.
Milton (Halton) courthouse information
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
