Assault.
Regardless of how you were charged, we can
promise you this: we will work to get the charges
substantially reduced or dismissed entirely.
Perhaps you face a domestic assault, or charges
following a bar fight or road rage. In every case,
we work with the DA and press to get the
chrages reduced or dismissed outright. We handle
cases where the defendant does not qualify for a
public defender and/or the defendant lacks
confidence in the public defender. Give is a call
and we will work for you to get the best possible
resolution of the assault charges against you.

What are the Charges?
You may have heard the phrase "assault and
battery." In civil law, an assault is the imminent
fear of touching (apprehension felt by the victim)
and the "battery" is the actual touching. In
criminal law, in Pennslyvania, assault and battery
are the same thing. You can be charged with
"assault" even if the victim never experienced
apprehension, if, for example, he was drunk and
never saw the punch coming during a bar fight.

Likewise, you can be charged with "assault" even
if you never touched the victim, so long as the
victim saw your take a swing and miss. We can
explain this to you in more full detail depending
upon the precise facts in your case. We can
meet with you to evaluate all possibel defenses.

Easy Payment.
Our retainer is reasonable and we accept major
credit card payment. Let us help you with your
