DEFENDING ASSAULT CHARGES
The repercussions of being found guilty of an assault charge are significant. You may receive a criminal record or can be sentenced to jail. The jail sentence for causing bodily harm can be anywhere between 2 to 10 years in jail, and more for aggravated assault! However, the court may impose probation with counselling or a fine for less serious assault allegations. Every allegation of assault is a fact-specific inquiry. You can consult our criminal assault lawyers to assist you with identifying potential defences to specific types of allegations.
WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS
Our experienced criminal lawyers can identify valid defences to an assault allegation. Our team of lawyers will thoroughly study the case to identify if there is scope for defence, such as if the victim provided consent, or if there was mistaken belief in consent or assault was committed in self-defence.
DOMESTIC ASSAULT AND OTHER ASSAULT CHARGES
