Don't Let Your Kansas Assault Charge Ruin Your Life
Arrested for Assault in Kansas?
(See my Missouri Assault Laws page for a charge in MO)
Assault or Assault and Battery can be a serious charge where you face possible jail time, even for simple assault. A charge of aggravated assault (assault with a deadly weapon) is a felony charge with mandatory jail time.
Most assault charges are simply fights were both parties participated to one degree or another. Often the person who talks to the police first and presses charges avoids the arrest and charges in a mutual fight.
It's important to get a lawyer on the case right away to get into court and get your story on record, and possibly file a counter charge or assault. Please call me right away for your criminal defense consultation on an assault charge in Kansas. I'll tell you exactly what I can do to help, with no obligation if you don't choose to hire me.
