Minneapolis Assault Lawyer

Assault Cases

Assault is the intentional use of violence and force on another person in order to cause bodily harm, or putting that person in fear of being harmed.  There are many different types of assault crimes such as stalking, harassment, battery, assault with a deadly weapon, terrorist threats, sexual assault, child abuse and domestic assault.  Depending on the circumstances of the case, it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony offense.  Domestic assault is the act of physically harming, threatening or harassing a family member such as a spouse or blood relative, someone with whom you live, a boyfriend, girlfriend, or domestic partner.

If you have been charged with assault, a Minneapolis criminal defense attorney should be contacted immediately for assistance.  Any type of assault case requires immediate intervention by a skilled lawyer who can protect your rights.
