Corinth Attorneys Defending Against Assault With a Deadly Weapon Charges
There are two types of assault charges: simple assault and aggravated assault. At the Michael Law Firm, our lawyers defend people in Booneville and Northeast Mississippi against both types of assault charges.
- Simple assault: This type of assault is defined as assault that does not result in serious bodily injury to the victim, nor does it put the victim in fear of serious bodily injury. People can be charged with simple assault for making threats, even when there has been no physical contact between the victim and the accused.
- Aggravated assault: This type of assault is defined as assault that causes serious bodily injury or puts the victim in fear of serious bodily injury. These cases may involve assault with a deadly weapon such as a gun.
Our lawyers have more than 25 years of experience. We know the strategies available to defend you, whether you have been charged with simple assault or aggravated assault.
Assault or Self-Defense?
Law enforcement may not spend a lot of time trying to sort through what happened when they arrive at the scene of a bar fight or any other altercation. It is not uncommon for people to be charged with assault after simply trying to defend themselves.
Every case is different. Were you acting in self-defense? Did the alleged victim start the fight or provoke you? Was a weapon used against you? We will ask all the necessary questions, gather all the details and design a strategy to protect you against the consequences that can come with an assault conviction.
