Chester County PA Assault Crimes Attorneys
Are you facing criminal charges for fighting, simple assault or aggravated assault in or around Chester County PA? Assault charges can happen to anyone, and not just to the neighborhood bully. Where initiated by alcohol, drugs or a relationship dispute, in a bar fight, road rage, a sporting event such as a fight with a Giants fan at a Eagles game, a dispute with your spouse, girlfriend or in law or argument with your neightbors; you or your family could be charged with assault even if you did not start the fight. All too often, you are at the mercy of the snap judgement of a police officer taking an angry, motivated, or vengeful or prejudice witness, ex grirlfriend, spouse or enemy over your word.
The charge of simple assault is a misdemeanor offense that is charged when someone attempts to cause or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another; negligently causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon or attempts by physical menace to put another in fear of eminent serious bodily injury.
The charge of aggravated assault is a felony offense and is charged when someone attempts to cause or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes serious bodily injury; attempts to cause or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes injury to a to a police officer, probation officer or other court related official or attempts to cause or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon.
When evidence and guilt is not in question, extenuating circumstances may convince the court to either reduce the charges against you or the sentence you face. As your assault lawyer, I work with prosecutors in exploring alternative sentencing options when a plea of "guilty" may be in your best interest. In certain cases where provocation, a medical condition, or alcohol is involved, it may be possible to avoid jail or a heavy fine in exchange for a promise to get counseling, provide community service, and agree to probation.
