What is assault?

Assault covers a wide range of offences and the sentences that can result, therefore also vary greatly. The victim does not necessarily have to be a stranger, with domestic violence  recognised as a crime in itself requiring extra protection and higher sentences. Domestic violence covers any form of physical, psychological, sexual or financial violence. It does not cover just partners but can include children within a familial setting.

Even the most straightforward of cases can involve complicated legal and practical issues. Instructing a specialist defence lawyer will ensure that your interests are protected.
