This post concludes my series on the handling of assault charges in Phoenix, Arizona. I have addressed a number of topics over my last several posts with the goal of helping Maricopa County residents know what they should expect when facing such charges. This post will recap subjects I have previously discussed and explain the need to contact an attorney if you are facing assault charges.
Subjects I have addressed over my last several posts included:
- Claiming self-defense when facing assault charges
- Excluding eye-witness identification in a Phoenix assault case
- Excluding statements made to the police after being arrested for assault
- Investigating an assault charge
- Taking a Phoenix area assault case to trial
One thing that I have stressed, through each of these posts, is that being convicted for assault can have serious consequences upon one’s future. These consequences can include a permanent criminal record, one being labeled as a “violent offender,” loss of child custody, and disqualification from employment. Hiring counsel can help you to ensure that your case is handled correctly and gives you a better chance going forward. In other words, do not make the mistake of considering assault charges to be a private matter or a “do it yourself” project.
