Assault and Battery

Washington, D.C., Assault Charges Defense

Even though there are at least two parties involved in any assault case, it is generally the case that only one person will be charged with a crime. If this person is you, your future and freedom are at stake. We recommend that you talk to an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

Maryland Domestic Violence Attorneys

At The Robinson & Kourtesis Law Firm, we have been successfully defending people in the D.C. metro area, Maryland, and northern Virginia against assault charges for more than 30 years. Our attorneys have the experience of more than 2000 jury trials and 300 appellate cases to draw on and will not back down from any opponent, state or federal, who stands between our clients and a just result.

Our firm handles all types of felony and misdemeanor assault charges, including:

• Simple assaults
• Assault and battery
• Domestic violence assaults
• Child abuse
• Aggravated assault
• First degree assault
• Second degree assault

As experienced criminal defense lawyers, we know that there are many reasons people find themselves facing these charges. The most common one however is not that these are violent or mean people, it is because they got caught up in circumstances that quickly spun out of control. The important thing to remember is that the alleged victim's story is not the only story there is to be told.

Our attorneys are highly skilled at cross-examining witnesses and challenging other types of evidence in order to cast doubt on the prosecution's version of events. We prepare each case as if going to trial. While we resolve criminal cases through a plea bargain whenever this is our best option, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial if that is what is necessary to get you the best possible result.
