Richmond Assault Attorney
Depending on the severity of your assault charges, you may be in danger of facing imprisonment in county jail or state prison. If the assault involved a weapon or serious bodily injury, however, you are more likely to face felony charges and therefore a state prison sentence. Regardless of how serious your Richmond assault charges may be, however, there is much an attorney can do to represent your interests and work to reach a positive case result. This may include employing a strategy involving self-defense or an act that was in the defense of others, mistaken identity, or lack of intent. The approach that will work for your case may vary depending on the unique circumstances. We also work with clients to negotiate plea bargains; a good plea bargain can result in probation, community service, or fines in lieu of prison time. We may also be able to have the charges dismissed after successful completion of a probation sentence.
