Any criminal charge involving assault or other violent crimes can profoundly impact your future. Even if you are charged with misdemeanor assault, you could face jail and fines. Felony charges are even more severe. But even if you are able to avoid incarceration, you will have the stigma of a criminal conviction for a violent offense. In addition to the embarrassment and harm to your reputation, your conviction may make it difficult to find a job in the future. If you have been charged with a violent crime, you need to take action to protect yourself and contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

We Handle All Types of Assault & Violent Crimes Cases

There are many different criminal charges that prosecutors can bring in a case involving an assault or other violent crime. They may even charge you with multiple offenses, which can seem especially overwhelming. Whether you have been charged with a single offense or are facing multiple charges, you will need a criminal defense lawyer to get a fair outcome. Nathan Evershed has extensive experience in handling a wide variety of violent offenses, including the following:

  • Assault and aggravated assault

  • Burglary
  • Domestic violence
  • Robbery
  • Kidnapping
  • Manslaughter

  • Weapons offenses

The differences between some of these offenses can be difficult to identify. For example, the difference between assault and aggravated assault may depend on facts that seem irrelevant. However, the difference in the penalties you face can be enormous. Nathan can help you understand the charges you are facing and the potential consequences they entail.

Why You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer on Your Side

Prosecutors are aggressive, are not obligated to be fair, and they are not on your side. They wield enormous power and can make decisions that alter your life forever.

A criminal defense lawyer brings balance to the criminal justice system. They are your advocate, tasked with zealously defending your rights. When appropriate, they can get baseless charges dismissed or get the prosecution to reduce your charges. They can identify any weaknesses in your case, gather evidence that supports your defense, and develop an effective legal strategy focused on reaching a fair outcome.
