Assault

Longview Attorney: Assault Defense

There is more involved in an assault than one person threatening another. Particularly in the context of family violence, it is a complex event. Although it may initially seem to be an aggressive and inexcusable act, there might be a legitimate defense or explanation.

Accused of assault? Talk to a lawyer about a defense

If you have been arrested for assault, or charged with domestic violence or another violent crime, it is important that you talk to a criminal defense lawyer before making any statement to police, prosecutors, family members or social workers. A conviction or imposition of a restraining order against you might result in jail time, a fine and problems when you look for a job or try to rent an apartment. If you would like to speak with attorney Brad Steele, please contact our Longview office to arrange a consultation.

Legal defense against an assault charge

Your lawyer will discuss the background and circumstances surrounding the event with you, and plan an appropriate defense strategy. You may be able to legitimately claim that your action was in self defense. If you have been accused of domestic assault, it is important to explain your actions in the light of any marital problems.
