What To Do After an Assault Arrest

Preserve evidence. Save texts, social messages, videos, photos, and contact info for witnesses.
Follow release conditions. Obey no-contact orders and court dates to avoid new charges.
Call us early. Early action helps with bail, negotiations, and protecting defenses.
Charges, Penalties & Enhancers
Assault can range from misdemeanor simple assault to felony aggravated assault, especially where there is serious injury or a weapon. Domestic-violence designations, prior convictions, and protective-order violations can increase penalties like jail, probation, fines, classes, and firearm restrictions. We evaluate evidence, alleged injuries, and legal issues to target dismissal, reduction, or acquittal.
Defenses We Commonly Use
Self-defense or defense of others, lack of intent, mistaken identity, unreliable witnesses, constitutional violations (stop, search, interrogation), and evidentiary challenges to injury or medical proof. Many cases resolve through reduced charges or diversion programs; when trial is the best path, we litigate.
