Overview

At KHM Law Firm, we understand that facing an assault charge can be overwhelming and life-altering. Our experienced attorneys provide dedicated legal support to defend your rights and work toward the most favorable outcome for your case.
What is Assault in California?
In California, assault is defined as an intentional act that could cause physical harm or threaten someone with harm. Even if no physical injury occurs, attempting or threatening violence can lead to criminal charges under California Penal Code Section 240.
Types of Assault Charges We Handle
Our firm defends against a wide range of assault-related charges, including:
Simple Assault
Involves an attempt to cause physical harm without any physical contact or injury.
Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW)
Accusations of using a weapon, such as a knife, gun, or blunt object, to threaten or harm another individual.
Aggravated Assault
Involves severe threats or violent acts that cause substantial harm or involve vulnerable victims.
Battery and Domestic Violence
Charges involving physical contact or harm, especially in domestic settings, often filed alongside assault charges.
Common Defenses Against Assault Charges
At KHM Law Firm, we provide aggressive, skilled legal defense for various criminal cases, from DUI and traffic offenses to complex federal crimes. Our Fresno-based attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights.
Self-Defense or Defense of Others
California law allows individuals to protect themselves or others if they face an immediate threat. Our attorneys argue self-defense if the circumstances justify it.
Lack of Intent
Assault charges require proof of intent. If there’s evidence you didn’t intend harm, we challenge the basis of the charge.
False Accusation
False claims in heated situations, such as disputes or misunderstandings, often lead to wrongful charges. We thoroughly investigate to reveal inconsistencies or motive for false reporting.
Insufficient Evidence
Without concrete evidence, assault charges may lack foundation. Our team scrutinizes evidence to ensure it meets legal standards.
How Assault Charges Impact Your Life
Assault convictions carry severe consequences, including jail time, fines, probation, and a criminal record. Beyond legal penalties, an assault conviction can harm your employment opportunities, relationships, and reputation. Our attorneys work to prevent these outcomes, defending your future and minimizing disruptions to your life.
