| Criminal Defense - Assault/Domestic Violence
Assault or domestic violence charges usually occur because of an argument between a family member, friend, or a stranger, that gets out of control and escalates into a physical confrontation. The State has a significant interest in keeping peace among its citizens: whether it be in a public place, or a private home. Therefore, assault and domestic violence cases are dealt with very seriously. In many instances, even if the victim wants to let the charges drop, the prosecution will insist on moving forward with the charges. As with any serious crime, the assistance of a qualified attorney can often minimize the impact on your record, or, sometimes, allow you to present a valid defense. You might believe that you acted in "self defense" because the other person hit you first. This isn't necessarily true. The right to self defense ends when the possibility of being attacked has ended. In other words, you can only use as much force as is required to break off the attack, if you go beyond that it still constitutes assault. |
