I have been representing clients charged with Assault since I was admitted to the bar. Assault charges range anywhere from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B felony. The categorization of the Assault charge depends on the intent of the aggressor, extent of the injury and whether or not a weapon/deadly weapon was used in the commission of the offense.

​

If you have been charged with an assault related offense, please do not hesitate to contact me. There are several potential defenses available including self-defense and defense of others. If one of these defenses do not apply there is still the possibility of negotiating a plea to a lesser offense not an assault.
