Criminal Defense
Assault & Violent Crimes
Strategic defense for allegations carrying significant sentencing exposure and reputational risk.
Allegations of assault or a violent crime carry significant sentencing exposure and lasting reputational harm. These cases often turn on conflicting accounts, self-defense, and the credibility of witnesses.
House of Defense Law builds a fact-based defense — investigating what actually happened, testing the evidence, and asserting every applicable defense, including self-defense and defense of others.
What This Can Involve
- Investigating witness credibility and conflicting accounts
- Asserting self-defense and defense of others
- Challenging injuries, intent, and the alleged sequence of events
- Fighting great-bodily-injury and strike enhancements
- Pursuing dismissal, reduction, or acquittal
