Aggressive Defense Of Assault Charges

When police respond to calls involving people fighting, they usually arrest anyone involved. Even in cases where someone is simply defending themselves against an aggressor, it’s not uncommon for police to arrest them too.

Charges Involving Assault

The Shapiro Law Firm represents clients charged with assault involving the following:

  • Bar fights
  • Road rage
  • Fights at parties
  • Domestic violence/dispute
  • Parking lot disputes
  • Assaulting a police officer
  • Spousal abuse
  • Fights at a sporting event
  • Drunk and disorderly conduct

At the Shapiro Law Firm, our defense lawyers investigate the circumstances surrounding assault charges against our client. Working with private investigators, we interview witnesses, review security camera footage when available and present the context within which the allege assault took place. We’re also prepared to hire psychologists and other medical experts when the effects of medication, post-traumatic stress disorder or other psychological conditions are involved.

Before you talk to police, call the Shapiro Law Firm today at 972-423-0033. Our Collin County criminal defense attorneys will review and evaluate your case to determine how best to proceed to help you avoid further legal complications.

Defending You Against Charges of Assault

Regardless of whether a fight occurs in a bar, a parking lot or in your neighbor’s front yard, people don’t always know or see what caused it to happen in the first place. As a result, when the police arrive, those present may mistakenly blame you for starting it when you were only defending yourself. And, in many instances, police will arrest everyone involved and let the prosecutor sort it out later.

Reducing the Charges Against You

Investigating the circumstances around an alleged assault, collecting eyewitness statements and reviewing police reports, our criminal defense attorneys tell your side of the story. In explaining the circumstances surrounding your arrest, we may be able to persuade the court to reduce the charges against you. Depending on your criminal history, our criminal defense lawyers explore alternatives to jail and a permanent criminal record in exchange for community service and anger management counseling.
