Assault cases often turn on details that are disputed: who initiated the encounter, what each person perceived, whether force was threatened or used, and whether another person acted in defense of self or someone else.
Building the factual record
A prompt defense review may include witness accounts, recordings, photographs, medical records, messages, and the sequence of police interviews. Preserving those materials can be important when accounts differ.
What to do now
Follow bond and court orders carefully. Avoid direct or indirect contact prohibited by an order, and do not discuss the allegations online. Bring all paperwork to your consultation.
