Assault is the purposeful use of force to harm or injure another individual. If you have been accused of making physical conduct with another individual with the intent to harm, one of our attorneys from The Carlson Law Firm is prepared to provide you with the defense you need. Depending on the seriousness of the charge, your penalties can range from minor to very severe. If you have been arrested for such charges, it is important to get the help of an attorney who knows how to handle criminal offenses.
You can be charged with assault if you knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly cause harm to another individual. Even if you threaten to cause harm to that individual, you can be charged. If you or a loved one is facing assault charges, whether domestic, aggravated or another criminal assault, you will need the assistance of one of our criminal assault lawyers. At The Carlson Law Firm, we have attorneys who specialize in criminal defense and protecting the rights of those who have been charged with the crime of assault.
When there is only minor injury involved, you can be charged with a misdemeanor and walk away with a penalty of $4,000, but the charges can rise up to a felony that carries penalties of two to ten years in prison. If a deadly weapon was used as part of the assault, the penalties will likely be much higher. The stakes significantly rise and you could even face second-degree felony charges for this act. Our firm has private investigators on staff who can work toward finding a solution to your problem. If the state’s evidence does not represent what we have discovered, our lawyers will bring the truth to light. Our lawyers examine every possible angle to ensure that your rights are protected. Contact our firm if you have been wrongly accused of an assault charge. We have offices in Killeen, Temple, Waco, Bryan and Laredo, and we are prepared to help you.
