Fight Back on your Massachusetts Assault with a Dangerous Weapon Charge!

Massachusetts Law - Assault with a Dangerous Weapon Charges & Penalties

Assault with a Dangerous Weapon is a very serious charge in Massachusetts, and it is absolutely not a case that you can resolve on your own without tremendous risks.  According to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Assault with a Dangerous Weapon is a Felony Charge, and you are facing a substantial risk of serious time in a state prison facility.

What is Assault with a Dangerous Weapon? A dangerous weapon can be considered anything from a gun, a knife, a moving car or other vehicle, down to a baby bottle, or even a shod foot! Regardless of whether the "weapon" is a foot or a gun, you are facing the same serious potential consequences. You need an experienced MA criminal attorney to work with you and protect your rights as quickly as possible. 

MA Assault with a Dangerous Weapon Defense Strategies

The best way to start an assault w/a dangerous weapon case is to see if you can get the charges reduced to a simple assault case. If the charges can be reduced down to a misdemeanor, the likelihood of getting a dismissal becomes much greater. If it is reduced to a misdemeanor assault, in some cases I can even get the case remanded to a clerk's hearing, and from there there is a chance to have the case voided entirely.

Beyond that, I am always prepared to file a full range of motions to dismiss, or motions to suppress the evidence against you on legal and constitutional grounds. The motions I will file depend on the specific facts of your case. 

When we talk, I'll go over the police report with you, and I'll give you my honest opinion and the benefit of my years of criminal defense experience in assault cases helping people just like you. I'll tell you upfront how good I think your case is, and what I can do to fight for you. And I'll do all this for free, and with absolutely no obligation.
