Columbus Assault Defense Lawyers
Do Not Face an Assault Charge Without a Lawyer
Many times, people who are charged with assault do not think they need a lawyer. This is unfortunate, because having an assault conviction on your record can limit your opportunities in the future. Employers, lenders, landlords, colleges and other organizations that require background checks may not distinguish between a conviction for simple assault and felonious assault. You could be denied opportunities just for having a conviction of any kind.
Whether you are charged with attempted, negligent, simple, aggravated or felonious assault, an experienced criminal defense attorney is essential. At the Scott Law Firm, we know that a criminal record will follow you for life. We work hard to prevent this from happening. Our aggressive violent crime defense representation may result in reduced or dismissed charges.
