If you\u2019re arrested and charged, you may be released with conditions.  <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>If not, you\u2019ll be detained until your <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/bail-hearing\/\"><b>bail hearing<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Men are held at the Toronto South Detention Centre.<\/li>\n<li>Women are held at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bail hearings happen at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on Finch Avenue West.

They are heard at the Ontario Court of Justice on Armoury Street. The most serious cases can go to trial before a judge and jury at the Superior Court of Justice on University Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>Criminal harassment cases often involve domestic relationships and a related family court matter. These may qualify for the Integrated Domestic Violence Court at 311 Jarvis Street. In these cases, one judge hears both matters together.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h2>How can a criminal harassment lawyer help your case?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/pre-charge-legal-advice\/\">Pre-charge legal advice<\/a> from one of our lawyers can sometimes prevent charges from being laid. If not, we can work to limit the impact on your future by ensuring that you don\u2019t say or do anything that will harm your case.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re charged, we can review the disclosure package, which outlines the Crown\u2019s evidence. We look at the full pattern of contact the Crown is relying on, not just the incident that triggered the complaint. Context often changes how a case looks.<\/p>\n<p>Some Toronto criminal harassment cases go to trial, but most are resolved beforehand.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you avoid a criminal record?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/toronto\/resolutions\/\">pre-trial resolutions<\/a> can prevent a criminal record. <b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Your options depend on the facts of your case, but some common examples include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/peace-bond\/\">Peace bond<\/a>. If you keep the peace for up to a year, the Crown withdraws the charge without you having to admit guilt.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/alternative-measures-program\/\">Alternative Measures Program<\/a>. In less serious, non-domestic cases, finishing this program can lead to the charge being dropped.<\/li>\n<li>Reduced charge. The Crown may agree to a plea on a lesser charge and drop the criminal harassment charge.<\/li>\n<li>Stay of proceedings. The Crown pauses the case instead of ending it. In practice, it is rarely restarted once a year has passed.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/discharge\/\">Discharge<\/a>. If you plead guilty, a judge can still grant a discharge in the right case. This avoids a criminal record, even with a guilty plea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides these options, charges are sometimes withdrawn completely if the Crown has weak evidence, credibility problems, or a Charter breach.
