Assault & Battery

Assault and battery charges often grow out of fast-moving situations—arguments, misunderstandings, or moments where everyone has a different version of what happened. Yet the impact on your record and reputation can last for years. You need someone who will slow the story down, examine each piece of evidence, and make sure your side is heard.

• 1

  Independent review of witness statements, police reports, and medical records to test the strength of the prosecution's case.

• 2

  Development of self-defense or mitigation arguments where the facts support them.

• 3

  Practical advice about how different outcomes—pleas, diversion, trial—could affect work, licensing, and travel.

• 4

  Firm advocacy in negotiations and in court so you are not reduced to a single allegation or moment in time.
