"An assault charge can turn your life upside down" - said Khalid Akram, founding lawyer at Akram Law. "Our role is to step in quickly, safeguard our client’s rights, and develop a defence strategy that gives them the best possible outcome. Every case is different, and we take the time to understand each client’s story before taking action".
The firm offers strategic defence planning that includes:
- Reviewing police reports and evidence for inconsistencies or Charter breaches.

- Challenging Crown evidence through cross-examination and pre-trial motions.
- Exploring alternative resolutions, such as the Alternative Measures Program, for first-time offenders.
Navigating Alberta’s Assault Laws
Under Canadian law, assault is defined as applying force, directly or indirectly, without consent. Convictions can result in severe penalties, including fines, imprisonment, criminal records, and restrictions on employment or travel.
For individuals facing charges, early legal intervention is critical. Akram Law guides clients through the entire process—from police investigation and arrest to bail hearings and trial advocacy. The firm also advises on post-charge consequences such as firearm prohibitions, no-contact orders, and employment implications.
"Even a simple assault charge can have life-changing effects” Akram added. “By contacting a defence lawyer early, you can prevent costly mistakes and ensure your side of the story is heard.”
