Assault Lawyers
Assault charges are taken very seriously by the courts in New South Wales and can carry significant penalties, including fines, community service orders, and imprisonment. The consequences of a conviction may also extend beyond the legal penalties, affecting your employment, travel opportunities, and reputation.
At Lamont Law, we specialise in defending clients charged with assault offences in all NSW courts. Our experienced criminal defence lawyers understand the complexities of these cases and are committed to protecting your rights at every stage of the process. Assault charges can range from common assault through to more serious offences such as assault occasioning actual bodily harm, reckless wounding, or grievous bodily harm. Each type of charge requires a tailored defence strategy.
We carefully analyse the evidence against you, identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and explore all possible defences. In some cases, issues such as self-defence, consent, or lack of intent may provide a complete defence to the charge. Where appropriate, we can also negotiate with prosecutors to have charges reduced or withdrawn.
