Compassionate Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer Represents Clients Charged with Assault and Battery
Caring attorney provides strong advocacy and support for people in the Springfield area facing serious charges
If you have been charged with assault or battery, you are likely frightened about the prospect of facing prison time. You may not know where to turn or what to do. But under our criminal justice system, you are innocent until proven guilty, which is why you need and deserve an advocate who understands your circumstances and is committed to protecting your rights. At the Law Offices of Susan E. Hamilton, I represent people in the Springfield area and throughout Massachusetts who have been charged with assault or battery. I understand that these allegations often turn on law enforcement's ignorance of what prompted the incident, so I wage a strong defense to challenge the prosecution's case and preserve your freedom. I am a true advocate for your rights, committed to easing your burden when you face violent crime charges.
Dedicated defense lawyer handles a range of assault cases
Assaults happen for a variety of reasons. Many assault or battery charges stem from simple fights. In these cases, I work to show that you were acting in self-defense and are not a violent criminal. Others occur in conjunction with other crimes such as robbery. Assaults of a sexual nature are treated differently by the law. In all cases, I know what you stand to lose if convicted, so I present a strong defense to preserve your freedom.
Proven advocate works to reduce assault charges
Most states have a variety of assault charges such as aggravated assault. Depending on the facts of your case, the state may choose to charge you with a higher-level crime than is necessary. I will work to get your charges reduced through a variety of pretrial motions. And when the facts are against you, I will work tirelessly to secure the most lenient sentence possible under the circumstances. In every case, you can trust in my support and advocacy throughout your case.
