Assault Defense in PA

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.
