Assault Defense

Assault Defense in California

Facing Assault Charges in California? I’m Here to Protect Your Rights and Freedom.

Assault charges in California are serious and can lead to severe consequences, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. Whether the charge is a simple assault or a more serious aggravated assault, the stakes are high. If you’ve been accused of assault, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who understands California law and can provide a strong defense. I’m dedicated to defending your rights, challenging the evidence, and working toward the best possible outcome for your case.

What I Offer:

  • Understanding California Assault Law: Assault charges in California can vary in severity, depending on the circumstances. Under California Penal Code Section 240, assault is defined as an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on another person. I’ll help you understand the specific charges against you, whether it’s simple assault, assault with a deadly weapon, or another related offense, and how the law applies to your situation.

  • Challenging the Evidence: A strong defense often begins with challenging the prosecution’s evidence. I’ll thoroughly investigate the incident, looking for inconsistencies in witness statements, lack of intent, self-defense claims, or other factors that could weaken the prosecution’s case. My goal is to create reasonable doubt and achieve the best possible result for you.

  • Defending Against Misdemeanor and Felony Assault Charges: In California, assault can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the nature of the alleged offense and whether any injuries occurred. I’ll work to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors or have the charges dismissed altogether, minimizing the impact on your life.

  • Exploring Self-Defense and Other Legal Defenses: If you acted in self-defense or defense of others, this is a crucial element of your defense. I’ll work to demonstrate that your actions were justified under the circumstances, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges. Additionally, I’ll explore other defenses, such as lack of intent, mistaken identity, or false accusations.

  • Minimizing Penalties: Even in cases where a conviction seems likely, I’ll fight to minimize the penalties you face. This could involve negotiating plea deals for lesser charges, advocating for probation instead of jail time, or seeking alternative sentencing options that focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
