If you have been arrested and charged with assault, battery or another type of violent crime, it is critically important to retain a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
If your criminal defense lawyer can get an early start building a defense against the assault charges, then you have a better chance of minimizing the negative consequences of a conviction.
Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer for Assault Charges
In order for me to give you an educated opinion about the most likely outcome in your case, I will need to know the answers to a lot of questions about the incident that led to the assault charges, such as:
- Who was involved?
- Where did the incident occur?
- How did the fight start?
- Were alcohol or drugs involved?
- Were weapons involved?
- Can you or another party argue self-defense?
- Were you really involved or were you a bystander?
- Who were the witnesses? Are they believable?
Based on the answers to those questions — and on the information I uncover during an independent investigation — I will develop a defense strategy that is most likely to be successful in minimizing the penalties that come your way.
If I can, I will negotiate with the prosecutor's office — either for a dismissal or for a lesser charge, suspended sentence or probation. Depending on the facts of your case, we may decide to take your case to trial and fight for a not-guilty verdict or a lesser charge which carries a lesser penalty.
An Advocate at Your Side Through the Entire Process
No matter how your case proceeds, you can rest assured that you have hired an experienced and dedicated criminal defense lawyer who will speak on your behalf at every hearing — using all my legal skills to protect your Constitutional rights and your freedom.
