Assault Lawyers In Irving
Assault is a bad word. It invokes painful feelings for some and has the stigma of abuse attached to its very core. If you have ever been issued a ticket for assault in the city of Irving and it was a class c misdemeanor, then you were charged with offensive touching without the other person’s consent. This class c misdemeanor is an intent based crime which means it must be proven that you knowingly or willfully put your hands (or other touching) on someone without their effective consent. Often, this offensive touching occurred during an argument or when someone didn’t want the other person to touch them in a certain area.
Unlike most class c misdemeanors, these assault offenses usually occur outside the presence of a police officer. The reporting party is often the “victim” in the case and will be the only witness against you in case of trial. True, these assault offenses are punishable by fine only, but a conviction of this offense can result in more serious consequences. For example, a simple assault conviction can be reported to the National Crime Index Computer and used against you when applying for a job, entrance into a school, or during punishment for other crimes.
Because of the severity of the crime, assault cases in Irving should not be treated lightly and should not be resolved without legal consultation.
