Assault Charges

Advice when an assault charge is laid

An assault matter should be approached through the actual allegation, the medical or photographic evidence, witness accounts and the court process that has been started.

What clients usually ask

Can an assault charge be withdrawn?

The outcome depends on the facts, evidence and prosecutorial decisions. Do not assume withdrawal or dismissal without confirmation.

The usual first steps

  1. Review the charge and any docket or summons information.
  2. Preserve messages, photographs, medical records and witness details.
  3. Advise on the next appearance and available defence steps.

What to bring

Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
