Fights that went too far, arguments, self-defense claims. We start with what actually happened, not just the first police report.
Assault charges often come out of a fast, confusing moment. Witnesses disagree. Video shows part of the story. Injuries can look worse, or better, than they were.
We gather the full picture early: phone video, building cameras, medical records, and witnesses police never spoke to. If you acted to protect yourself or someone else, we build that defense with care.
General information, not legal advice for your situation.
We can't promise how your case will end. We can promise to check every one of these, explain what we find, and let you make the call.
It can matter a lot. Self-defense is a real defense, but it depends on the details: who did what, in what order, and whether the force used was reasonable. Write down what you remember while it is fresh.
Not on their own. Once a charge is filed, the prosecutor decides whether to go forward. What the other person wants can still matter, which is why you should never contact them yourself.
The situation. Our client stepped in to stop a fight at a restaurant and was the one arrested.
Our work. We found two witnesses and a guest's phone video that police had not collected.
