“It’s just so paternalistic and so inhumane to force survivors into a process they don’t want to go through."

Ben Fulton takes an approach that engages with the various forms of diversion. If you are facing criminal charges this is the first thing to consider. Diversion is not always possible, but the benefits make it worth investigating. #ADR #criminallaw #legal #GTA #Ontario
