Assault, Battery & Fighting in Public

Boise, Idaho, Attorney for Assault Defense

You may have just been standing nearby when a bar fight broke out - and were then arrested along with everyone else in the area. You may have been defending yourself against an attack. You may have made a poor decision.

Whatever the circumstances surrounding an incident, if you are charged with assault and battery or another violent crime, the long-term consequences can be serious - including probation or jail and a permanent criminal record.

It is important to take the situation seriously and present an aggressive defense. Contact Martens Law Offices now to schedule a free initial consultation with a lawyer.

Assault and Battery - Broad Legal Terms

Assault is a broad term that includes any threatening action or attempt to injure a person. Battery refers to any unwanted touching. A simple family dispute may result in charges of domestic violence.

Attorney Jared B. Martens has aggressively defended people accused of assault or battery in a wide variety of situations. In one case, for example, a motorcyclist charged a man on a bicycle with assault for allegedly hitting him.

Mr. Marten is well prepared to carefully review the evidence obtained against clients for factual, legal, or charging errors. He uses a hands-on approach to build a powerful defense for each client.

Building a Powerful Defense Against an Assault Charge

Attorney Martens fights hard to get charges dismissed or reduced. Few of the law firm's clients have spent time in jail for a first offense. In some cases, for example he has been able to negotiate reductions in aggravated assault charges down to simple assault or even disturbing the peace.

Mr. Martens will question witnesses, assemble evidence and force the prosecutor to prove every aspect of the state's case beyond a reasonable doubt. Whatever the outcome of your case, he can explore the possibility of expungement or having your criminal record sealed from public view.
