Defending Against Assault Charges
The Molnar Law Office understands that assault charges are often complex and highly situational. Our defense strategies are tailored to the specific facts of your case and may include:
- Self-Defense: Demonstrating that your actions were necessary to protect yourself or others from harm.
- Lack of Intent: Proving that the alleged assault was accidental or unintentional.
- False Accusations: Challenging the credibility of the accuser or exposing inconsistencies in their testimony.
- Insufficient Evidence: Highlighting weaknesses in the prosecution's case to create reasonable doubt.
With a focus on protecting your rights and achieving the best possible outcome, our legal team will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and present a compelling defense on your behalf.
