Assault

Assault Charge Defense Lawyer in Charlotte

Criminal defense attorney Chris Connelly has over 20 years of criminal defense experience and personally handles each client's case. In that time, he has successfully defended many clients against assault charges, often getting charges dismissed or reduced before trial. He understands how to present a case in the best way to the prosecutor and the judge. If you are facing assault charges, you need to talk to a lawyer with the right experience to protect your rights.

Assault charges often result from a misunderstanding. Consider the following examples:

• A fan leaving a Carolina Panthers game pushes his way to the street-and is arrested being intoxicated and disruptive or assault/affray.
• A patron in a bar fight elbows someone approaching from the rear-and is charged with assault on a police officer or resisting arrest.
• A marital argument escalates until domestic assault charges (like assault on a female) are filed.
• The "loser" in a fight at a NASCAR race at Lowes Motor Speedway files charges against the "winner".
• A person trying to break up a fight may appear to be a participant and then be charged.
• A confused suspect may be improperly charged with resisting arrest.
• A person strikes another in self defense.
