Auburn, Sacramento Assault and Battery Attorneys
Criminal assaults charges are often the result of out-of-control arguments, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or even self-defense. They occur in bars, at parties or at sporting events. What may have begun as light-hearted pushing escalated into a fight. However, assault charges should never be taken lightly. It is important to have a knowledgeable criminal lawyer to advise you about your options and protect your rights.
Building a Strong Defense
At the Law Offices of Barry A. Zimmerman, we defend clients against assault charges. We build strong cases by investigating the incident. We interview witnesses, obtain medical reports and try to determine the level of intoxication of the parties involved, if relevant. We check backgrounds and speak with victims. We obtain character letters that speak to the accused's stability and positive attributes. We determine whether the victim is a credible witness.
The firm's founding lawyer, Barry A. Zimmerman, is one of the few attorneys in Placer County certified as a criminal law specialist by the State Bar of California. He builds on his many years of experience defending clients against assault charges to pursue favorable results. This experience and his knowledge of criminal law give our clients an advantage.
Examples of Assault Charges
An assault charge can be either a misdemeanor or a felony. It is important to try to reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor, because a felony assault conviction could result in a state prison sentence, a "strike" and a felony criminal record that cannot be expunged.
We defend clients against charges involving:
- Domestic violence
- Sexual assault
- Assault
- Aggravated assault
- Battery
- Assault with a deadly weapon
