Although assault is commonly known as an attempted battery, assault is defined as an apprehension or fear of such touching. This definition is a little misleading, however, especially in light of people being charged with assault with a deadly weapon, as well as with assault with intent to commit great bodily injury, commonly known as GBI. These violations are actual batteries, where a contact has occurred usually resulting in injuries that actually may be very severe.

An assault may be filed as a misdemeanor or as a felony, depending on the actual facts of the case, such as the type of attack, the weapon used if any, the duration of the attack and the severity of the injuries to the victim.

EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Over the years we have successfully represented many clients charged with various drug related crimes described above. We have observed that the longer one postpones in hiring counsel, the greater the problem may become.

Please feel free to call for an initial FREE CONSULTATION in our office, or in the privacy and convenience of your own home, during which we can explore how best to defend and resolve your case. Our 24-hour telephone number is (818) 205-1555.
