Read about a Recent Representative Assault Case
A recent case illustrates the type of felony assault cases we often handle. Our client and four others were driving from one bar to another when our client said something that one of the car's occupants found insulting. In defending himself from the enraged person our client broke the person's orbital bone, which is dangerously near the eye.
Our client had no prior convictions, yet he faced a felony charge and mandatory prison time between 5 to 16 years. We worked hard on his case against the prosecutors, and managed to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor with no jail time.
