It sounds like a challenging situation. It might be helpful for your fiancé to seek a second opinion from another lawyer. Would you like assistance finding another lawyer in Quebec who can provide a fresh perspective?
Also one more question, we are in Saskatchewan, there are also charges for domestic violence he’s going up against, and the reason for this is because he has diabetes, we just found out the night he was arrested because that had to take him to the hospital * times. The cause for this charge is called diabetic rage and if you don’t know you have diabetes it can actually be really bad, your brain shuts down and you don’t recall anything
