Self-Defense? Misidentification?

Whether you were acting in self-defense, were wrongly identified as the perpetrator in an assault, or were charged with a worse offense than you were actually responsible for, rest assured that your case is not likely hopeless. In most cases, there are ways for an astute attorney to help ensure the best available outcome as you proceed through the criminal justice process.

Reduced Charges ◦ Case Dismissal ◦ Plea Bargain

You are well advised to talk to attorney Stewart Bergman promptly after your assault arrest. A successful outcome in your Arizona assault case may mean a reduction or downscaling in your assault charges — for example, to disorderly conduct — and an agreement that you will participate in anger management therapy. It may also mean "case dismissal" if the prosecution's evidence falls short.

Mr. Bergman has handled a great many assault charges both as prosecutor and as defense lawyer. Learn how he can help after you have been arrested and/or charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Contact the law firm.
