FEARLESS SOUTH DAKOTA ATTORNEYS DEFENDING AGAINST ASSAULT CHARGES
Assault charges, whether simple or aggravated, can carry serious consequences that affect your freedom, reputation, and future. At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we know that these charges often arise from complex situations with multiple perspectives. Our experienced defense attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and building a powerful case on your behalf. We carefully analyze every detail to challenge the prosecution’s narrative and strive for the best possible outcome. We investigate key factors such as:
Self-Defense — If you acted to protect yourself or others, we will build a strong case showing that your actions were justified and necessary for your safety.
Intent and Circumstances — We challenge the prosecution’s claims by examining whether there was any true intent to cause harm, or if the incident was a misunderstanding, accident, or provoked by other factors.
Credibility of Witnesses — Witness statements are often conflicting or biased. We meticulously evaluate witness credibility, uncovering inconsistencies or motivations that may weaken the prosecution’s case.
Injury Evidence — We scrutinize medical reports and the severity of any alleged injuries to challenge claims of excessive force or aggravation, working to reduce or dismiss charges.
Law Enforcement Conduct — Any mishandling of evidence or procedural mistakes by police can provide grounds to challenge the validity of the charges against you.
Our firm is committed to providing aggressive defense strategies for clients facing assault charges, whether simple or aggravated, ensuring your side of the story is heard and your rights are fiercely defended.
Key Differences? It’s All About Severity and Intent!
Simple assault is typically a minor incident that didn’t cause much harm, while aggravated assault is a serious offense with far-reaching consequences. Aggravated assault usually involves more severe injuries, weapons, or assaults against vulnerable or protected people.
If you’re facing either of these charges, your defense strategy needs to be just as serious. At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we know what’s at stake, and we’re ready to defend you against all types of assault charges.
