ASSAULT CRIMES

CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAW: ASSAULT CHARGES

Facing Assault Charges?

Our Alexandria and Fairfax criminal defense legal team includes an attorney who spent half a decade as a public defender in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, giving us invaluable insight into Virginia’s criminal justice system. If you face a charge for assault or battery, you can turn to our firm for the help you need to build a defense strategy to fit your unique situation.

Virginia Takes Assault Crimes Seriously

Depending on the details of your case, you could face either misdemeanor or felony charges for assault or battery. The state generally charges accused individuals with felonies when the alleged assaults occurred in correlation with domestic violence, hate crimes or other specific circumstances.

In the state of Virginia, the courts take assault crimes seriously, especially felony assaults. Prosecutors will be working diligently to prove the charges against you, so you need a criminal defense attorney who will work even harder.
