CH Advocacy is providing strategic criminal defence representation for individuals charged with assault offences in Calgary and communities throughout Southern Alberta.
Assault allegations can arise from disputes between strangers, family members, spouses, neighbours or other individuals. Although every case is different, a charge can lead to restrictive release conditions, employment difficulties, reputational harm and significant uncertainty for the accused.
Calgary assault lawyer – Chad Haggerty helps clients understand the allegations, the court process and the defence options that may be available in their circumstances. His approach includes reviewing the evidence, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and preparing clients for each stage of the proceedings.
“An allegation does not tell the complete story,” Haggerty said. “The surrounding circumstances, witness accounts, police investigation and available evidence must all be carefully reviewed before conclusions are reached.”
Haggerty represents individuals facing a range of assault-related allegations, including cases involving claims of injury and disputes within intimate or family relationships. His work may include reviewing medical records, police notes, statements, photographs, video footage and communication records.
Witness reliability can be an important issue in some cases. Accounts may differ because of stress, poor visibility, alcohol consumption, incomplete memories or the emotionally charged nature of an incident. A defence lawyer can compare statements with the remaining evidence and identify inconsistencies that may affect the prosecution’s case.
Domestic assault allegations can present additional challenges. Police may lay charges after responding to a complaint, and the case may continue even when the complainant no longer wishes to participate. Release conditions may also restrict communication or prevent an accused person from returning to a shared residence.
CH Advocacy assists clients in understanding these conditions and the importance of complying with every court order. The firm also reviews whether the investigation was fair, whether important context was overlooked and whether the available evidence supports the allegation.
Haggerty’s background as a former RCMP officer provides insight into police procedures, investigative methods and evidence handling. He uses that experience to examine how an investigation was conducted, whether witness interviews were properly documented and whether the evidence was collected and preserved appropriately.
Depending on the facts, a defence strategy may address issues such as identity, credibility, intent, consent, self-defence or whether the prosecution can prove the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt. The appropriate approach depends on the evidence and the client’s individual circumstances.
Possible resolutions may include discussions with the prosecution, a peace bond, withdrawal of the charge, dismissal of the case or a trial. No particular outcome can be guaranteed, and clients are advised based on the available evidence, applicable law and procedural options.
CH Advocacy emphasizes clear communication and realistic expectations. Clients are informed about upcoming court appearances, disclosure, potential resolutions and the risks associated with each available decision.
The firm represents clients from the initial stages of an investigation through negotiations, court applications and trial. Haggerty regularly appears in Calgary courts and courts across Southern Alberta.
Recognizing that legal costs can be a concern, CH Advocacy offers flexible payment arrangements and accepts Legal Aid referrals. The firm provides confidential consultations to individuals seeking information about an assault charge or an ongoing investigation.
