Serving Clearwater's Violent Crime Cases
If you are convicted of assault charges, you could be facing time in jail or prison, heavy fines, and required probation. You will also have a permanent criminal record, which can adversely affect your reputation and your future. Our Clearwater criminal defense lawyers understand how much is at risk when you are arrested for assault and we are committed to protecting your rights and future.
We defend clients against a number of assault charges, such as:
- Simple assault
- Aggravated assault
- Assault with a deadly weapon
In order to reach a conviction for assault, the prosecution must be able to prove that there was an intention and actual ability to harm the alleged victim. Even if they have evidence that you allegedly prepared to commit an attack, this is not sufficient evidence. They must illustrate that you have not only taken a substantial step towards harming someone else, but also that the victim was in fear of being harmed.
