What Is Assault?

Assault may include physically hurting another person, but is not limited to just acts of physical harm. Assault charges can also include the act of threatening another person with bodily injury or harm.

This means that a person can be charged with assault for allegedly threatening another person, whether the threat was meant or not, or for behaving recklessly in a way that leads to another person being injured.

Defending Assault Charges in Kent

The defense of assault charges can be complex, especially if there are multiple parties in the alleged incident. Law enforcement often wants to make an arrest at the scene of the crime, which can lead to the wrong person being arrested or charged. For example, a person could start a fight, but suffer more bruises than the victim, leading to the actual perpetrator being left alone and the victim being arrested. Our firm investigates quickly to determine what the most effective defense strategy for your case may be.

This may include the following defense strategies:

  • You were acting in self-defense
  • It was a case of mistaken identity
  • You were wrongfully accused

Violent crime charges are taken very seriously in the eyes of the law, which means hiring representation after your arrest is essential.
