Phoenix Assault Defense Attorney

Assault Charges in Phoenix

When an individual is physically harmed by the actions of another, law enforcement gets involved and a charge of assault or aggravated assault is usually the result.  These cases are often related to a fight between two individuals or a domestic situation when police are called to intervene.  Unfortunately, when an altercation between two people occurs, even when you are forced to defend yourself, the person on the ground is often considered to be the victim, even in cases when the assault was initiated by the alleged victim.  It is extremely important that you contact a Phoenix criminal defense lawyer from Palmisano Law Firm at once if you or your loved one has been charged with this crime.

Assault Defense Lawyer in Phoenix

In some cases the charge will be a misdemeanor, but should be defended aggressively to fight to avoid a conviction.  Such a conviction on your criminal record can obviously cause trouble for you in the future, such as in a job search in which your record is part of a background check.  When the charges are more severe, such as when children are involved or serious injury is done to the alleged victim, the penalties are increased.  There are two sides to every story, and our legal team is prepared to listen to what happened, and if necessary find witnesses to support the defense case.  A charge of assault can be filed even when no physical contact occurred but the alleged victim claims that you threatened them with harm and that they were in imminent danger.  Of course, these stories always have two sides.

Our legal team approaches each case with a thorough assessment of all the evidence, the circumstances of the case, the actions of law enforcement and a complete review of witness testimony.  This provides the opportunity to identify any procedural errors or other opening for the defense of your case.  Words said in anger can result in a charge.  When actual physical harm occurred, the situation is more dangerous.  We will tell you honestly and openly what can be expected in your case and will work hard on your behalf.  We have the experience and qualifications of a large law firm, but have small firm prices.  We believe everyone deserves a powerful defense attorney fighting for them.
