What to Do if You are Falsely Accused of Assault
Are you facing false accusations of an assault? Mere allegations of an assault could result in serious criminal charges and a potential conviction. The fact that you are innocent does not matter in a court of law. The outcome of your case depends on whether the prosecution can convince the judge and/or jury that you are guilty.
False accusations of assault are more common than many people are aware. There are countless reasons why people accuse others of assault. Protect your legal rights by contacting an assault lawyer to fight back against these false accusations.
1.) Understand the Severity of Assault Charges
Assault is a serious and violent crime. You could face an assault conviction even if there is no evidence that proves an assault occurred. Assault also has the potential to be enhanced to serious felony level charges when certain additional factors exist.
Understanding the severity of these charges is critical for obtaining the best legal representation in your case. A conviction on an assault charge could be costly to both your personal and professional life and future.

2.) Do Not Communicate w/the Accuser
The best thing to do if you are facing accusations of assault is to remain calm and do not communicate with the accuser. This includes any form of communication, including via text, email, and on social media.
It can be tempting to reach out the individual who has made these false claims. However, it is in your best personal and legal interest to avoid all contact with this individual. Any forms of communication made out of frustration or anger could easily be utilized by the prosecution to obtain a conviction.
3.) Comply with Legal Processes
Comply with all legal processes, including court dates, protective orders, and/or other court mandated requirements. You are not required to speak with anyone regarding these allegations, including law enforcement, without your attorney present.
4.) Hire an Assault Attorney
Hiring an assault attorney is a crucial element in beating false allegations of assault. Some people falsely believe that they do not need an attorney if they did not commit a crime. In fact, there is no time when it is more important to seek experienced legal representation.
You do not want to be convicted and serve time behind bars for a crime that you did not commit. There are several things that an experienced assault lawyer can do if you are facing charges for a crime that you did not commit, including helping you gather evidence to prove your innocence.
