Aggressive Defense Against Assault and Battery Charges
Our experienced attorneys provide aggressive representation against all levels of allegations, including:

- Battery, usually involving striking another person
- Felony assault and battery involving severe bodily injury and/or use of a weapon

Presenting Your Story and Arguing Your Case
Even in cases with physical evidence such as bruises, black eyes, cuts and scrapes, most assault and battery charges come down to conflicting statements from the parties involved. Our lawyers are adept at building and supporting arguments that:
- You acted in self-defense
- Another person initiated the confrontation or intentionally provoked you
- Another person's drug or alcohol use escalated a minor dispute
Experienced Lawyers for Domestic Violence Cases
Nevada authorities take domestic violence allegations very seriously. Potential penalties are severe, including prison time, loss of child custody and hindrance of your ability to secure employment.
If you are accused of domestic assault or violating a restraining order, our attorneys will step in to ensure you are not railroaded on false or exaggerated charges. We will fight to avoid conviction by moving for suppression of evidence, dismissal of the case or a plea to a lesser offense such as disorderly conduct. We prioritize helping you avoid jail time and other harsh penalties.
We will listen to your situation, examine the facts and advise you on the most favorable course of action. Contact Nevada Law Group to arrange a free confidential consultation with a criminal defense lawyer.
