Strong Background Defending Clients Accused of Assault
An assault conviction carries severe consequences. Individuals found guilty of assault will serve jail time and have the conviction permanently affixed to their criminal record. This can make it extremely difficult to find a job, secure loans or obtain housing. We are committed to protecting our clients' rights and futures to the fullest possible extent.
With nearly 35 years of legal experience, we know how to build strong, comprehensive defenses against assault and battery charges stemming from:
- Bar fights
- Road rage
- Domestic violence
- Assault with a dangerous weapon
- Assault with intent to rob or murder
We are committed to fully examining all aspects of the investigation and charges against each client. This includes making sure the evidence was obtained legally and the arrest was made properly. We are tough negotiators, often working with prosecutors to have the charges reduced or dismissed altogether. If a client gets convicted, we work diligently to have the jail time reduced or dismissed in lieu of community service or anger management counseling.
