Minnesota Assault and Battery Charges

As a skilled Twin Cities defense attorney, I have a thorough understanding of assault and battery charges and how to effectively defend against these allegations. Assault charges may be broken down as follows:

First Degree Assault

Felony

Inflicting great bodily harm or using deadly force

Second Degree Assault

Felony

Assault with a dangerous weapon

Third Degree Assault

Felony

Assaulting a minor or inflicting substantial bodily harm

Fourth Degree Assault

Gross Misdemeanor

Assaulting an officer during arrest

Fifth Degree Assault

Misdemeanor

Domestic violence/abuse

Depending on the severity of injuries that resulted and number of offenses, the penalties can vary greatly for those arrested for assault. Whether you have been falsely accused of a bar fight assault or there was a simple misunderstanding between spouses, it is important to ensure your future and your rights are equally protected. Through intense investigation, utilization of witnesses, and suppression of evidence unlawfully obtained, I work to resolve assault charges efficiently.

In addition to handling a wide range of assault matters, I also represent clients that are facing charges of felony terroristic threats and felony strangulation.  These are serious forms of assault that need aggressive criminal defense representation.
