Riverside Attorney: Assault Defense
Allegations of assault or battery can arise in any number of circumstances. Many times, an argument or bar fight initiates the incident.

The Stakes are High in California Assault Cases
A conviction for certain assault and battery offenses may be considered a strike under California three strikes rule. If you have had prior felony convictions that resulted in a strike against your criminal record, you could face far more severe criminal penalties if convicted for this offense. Having an experienced defense lawyer who knows the law, understands the stakes and is committed to protecting your future can make a difference in the outcome of your case.
Aggressive and Experienced Defense — On Your Side
We investigate the details of the alleged incident, review the police report and speak with witnesses. Sometimes, the police report is biased to one party or the other and does not accurately portray the incident. Our defense lawyers get to the bottom of what actually happened so that we can prepare a strong defense strategy.
Whether you are facing criminal charges for domestic violence, simple assault or felony assault, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney in your corner. Contact Harmon & Harmon for the kind of defense representation you need.
