Are You Facing Assault Charges?

Don’t face assault charges alone. Assault is a serious crime in all states – so take your defense seriously. More than likely, the officers will question you about the circumstances of the situation to trap you into making an incriminating statement. In the stress that comes with an arrest, you might say something that the prosecutor could use against you in court. So, don’t say anything until you’ve spoken to an experienced criminal defense attorney. Our expert criminal defense team will spare no effort to track down every piece of evidence that might help your case, whether that be dismissal of the charges, a favorable verdict at trial, or, at least, a significant reduction in charges and sentencing. Don’t wait. Contact one of our compassionate criminal defense lawyers today.
