Chicago Assault Attorney

Criminal Defense for Assault Charges in Chicago

If you have been charged with assault and/or battery, you may be facing serious penalties. The odds will be stacked against you as prosecution and law enforcement team up to convict you. If you involve a highly skilled Chicago criminal attorney as early in the process as possible, however, you have a much better chance of minimizing the damage to your life through a reduced charge, alternative sentencing or an acquittal. Some cases are dismissed before they make it into court if our defense team identifies procedural errors or violations of rights. We can provide clients with the experienced legal representation necessary to get them through their legal situation with the fewest negative consequences possible.

What is assault?

Assault can be defined as any type of conduct that makes another believe that they may be in danger of battery. Assault and battery charges are often charged simultaneously. If you have been charged with any of the following types of crimes, please speak with someone at our firm immediately:

• Sexual assault
• Aggravated assault
• Assault and battery of a police officer
• Domestic assault and battery
• Gang-related assault and battery

If you are charged with any offense of this nature, you will likely face penalties that could change the rest of your life. However, if you retain an attorney, you may be able to emerge from your trial unharmed.
