Virginia Assault Lawyer
Frequently, Virginia assault charges are the result of a heated disagreement that escalated to physical violence. After an altercation, the victim and perpetrator of the assault are often determined by who told his or her side of the story to police first or who has the most (or fewest) visible physical injuries. If there is a lack of witnesses, investigators are left to determine who is charged with assault based on their own best judgment, which may or may not reveal the true instigator. If you are charged with assault, an attorney can help ensure that your side of the story is heard in a court of law. Perhaps the charges against you are inflated; perhaps you were acting in self-defense. Your attorney can let your voice be heard.
