Phoenix assault lawyer presents effective defense

Often times it is common to see real life scenarios play out in the news.  Celebrities, unlike you and I, immediately make the news if they have any run-in with the law, their name and reputation dragged through the mud.  This time, it was an actor who was the center of the gossip.  Sam Worthington, the star of the Avatar, was arrested for assault after he allegedly punching a photographer in the face for kicking his girlfriend.  The fight happened in a bar in New York, but this type of arrest is made all the time here in Phoenix, and often in and around bars.  Alcohol many times is a factor in assault charges, meaning the people fighting are intoxicated, but not always.  A police officer can arrest you for assault for as little as touching someone with the intent to provoke.

A Phoenix assault charge can result in some serious consequences.  It is not just a slap on the wrist.  Depending on the circumstances and evidence collected by the police, you could be charged with either a felony assault or a misdemeanor charge.  Because of the complexity of an assault charge and the wide range of possible consequences, hiring an experienced Phoenix assault lawyer is the best decision to make.  Phoenix assault lawyer Matthew Lopez knows the details of assault charges, both misdemeanors and felonies, and knows the best strategies to present an effective defense.  Matthew Lopez, one of the Valley’s top Phoenix assault lawyer, works with prosecutors to reduce or eliminate your charges.   He is highly experienced in these types of charges and with all kinds of criminal defense and is dedicated to quality, professional representation.
