Possible Defenses for Assault Charges
David Canty will explore all options for your assault case. Many assault charges result from:
- Self Defense – If someone was injured because you were acting to protect yourself, this should not be labeled as an assault.
- Mistaken Witnesses – Studies have shown that mistaken eyewitness testimony accounts for about half of all wrongful convictions.
- You Did Not Cause Harm – Sometimes people claim to have an injury due to an assault, when in fact their injury had nothing to do with the person they are blaming.
- Victims Motive – It’s not uncommon for people to have ulterior motives when accusing another person of assault.
If there is evidence that prevents charges from getting dismissed, we will work to get charges reduced for the best possible outcome. The goal will be to get your case dismissed without you ever having to face a jury.
