What should I do if I was assaulted?
Your safety is the top priority. Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries are not immediately visible. If possible, document what happened, take photos of injuries, and preserve any evidence related to the incident.
Should I contact a lawyer after an assault?
Yes. An attorney can help protect your rights, explain your legal options, and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Speaking with a lawyer early can help ensure important evidence is preserved and deadlines are met.
What is considered assault in Washington State?
Do not speak to law enforcement or anyone else about the incident without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you. Contact an experienced defense attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin building your defense.
Can an assault charge be reduced or dismissed?
Yes. Many assault cases can be reduced or dismissed depending on the evidence, witness statements, and legal issues involved. Defenses may include self-defense, lack of intent, insufficient evidence, or violations of your constitutional rights.
Will an assault conviction affect my future?
An assault conviction can carry serious consequences, including jail time, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record. A strong defense can help minimize penalties and protect your employment, housing, and future opportunities.
