Aggravated Assault Defense Lawyer Scottsdale

You need a Phoenix criminal defense lawyer to defend your rights if you face charges related to aggravated assault. Assault is not limited to a violent attack against someone; Arizona assault charges are much broader:

• Threatening behavior may be regarded as assault
• Incidents related to operating a vehicle—road rage, for instance—may result in assault charges and other charges involving a criminal traffic offense
• Making a threat against someone may be considered assault in Arizona
• Touching another individual may lead to assault charges being filed in a Phoenix court
• Threats made against law enforcement officials, teachers, political leaders, or others may result in assault charges
• Disorderly conduct and resisting arrest are often related to charges of assault
• Domestic violence and DUIcharges may also involve formal assault charges being filed

An attorney experienced in all of the above is essential to defending your rights against a charge of assault in Phoenix or Scottsdale. Lawyers who know the complexities of the law and who have the right skills to defend your freedom are available. Contact Scottsdale based William Foreman, P.C. for the defense you need.

Challenge a conviction of aggravated assault in Phoenix with a skilled attorney working for you.

The right Phoenix assault defense attorney will ask questions that may lead to your assault case being dismissed. Perhaps you were threatened and simply reacted in self-defense that has been labeled assault. You may have feared for your life. A loved one may have been in danger and you acted to protect them. Perhaps you are being accused of assault to influence divorce or child custody proceedings. The prosecution’s witnesses in your Scottsdale assault case may lack credibility or have their own motives for seeking your conviction.

If you have been charged with assault in Maricopa County or anywhere in Arizona, you need an attorney who will diligently research your case, challenge the prosecution and work to get your case dismissed before it ever goes to trial: lack of evidence, inadmissible evidence, and inappropriate police behavior. These are just a few ways that your Arizona assault case can be challenged by a skilled assault defense attorney. We will prepare for a sophisticated courtroom defense but we will also seek to have your case dismissed and charges dropped before a potentially long trial is necessary.
