Assault and Battery Criminal Defense Attorney
Contrary to popular belief, someone could be charged with an assault even if no actual physical harm occurred. In fact, mere violent threats may suffice. When facing charges in this rather complex and gray area of the law, it is highly advisable to retain the services of an experienced and dedicated attorney.
My name is Judith A. Wayne, and I am an aggressive criminal defense lawyer with more than 30 years of experience. I have successfully defended hundreds of clients and am prepared to protect your rights and your future. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation at my law offices in Lynn or Malden.
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. Since I started my law firm in 1981, I have been committed to protecting my clients' rights and future to the fullest possible extent.
Before I started my law practice, I was one of a few women district attorneys in Middlesex County. During this time, I not only learned how to become an aggressive lawyer, but also gained a firsthand perspective on the tactics police officers sometimes use to persuade suspects to cooperate. I started my law firm with the primary aim of protecting clients from these suspect tactics. For more than three decades, I have successfully protected the rights of clients' accused of assault and battery.
I can construct a strong and comprehensive defense for assault charges stemming from
- Bar fights
- Road rage
- Domestic violence
- Assault with a dangerous weapon
- Assault with intent to rob or murder
I am committed to fully examining all aspects of the investigation and charges against you. This includes making sure the evidence was obtained legally and the arrest was made properly. I am a tough negotiator, and, if possible, I will work with prosecutors to have the charges reduced or dismissed altogether. If convicted, I will fight to have the jail time reduced or dismissed in lieu of community service or anger management counseling.
