What you need to know about Assault Cases in Pennsylvania

Are you facing false charges of assault after defending yourself and a lady friend in a bar fight? It clearly wasn’t assault. It was self defense! 

Here’s a common scenario: a loudmouth gets handsy and rough with a woman on the dance floor, and a fight breaks out. You defend yourself, and the other person is hurt. But instead of the aggressor facing consequences, you are the one who gets arrested.

It’s a frustrating and unfair situation, but it happens all too often. The police don’t take the time to listen to your side of the story or consider the context of the altercation. They don’t investigate. They may simply see you as the person who “won” the fight and blame you.

But the truth is, self-defense is a valid legal justification. It’s your right to protect yourself and others from harm. And in this case, you were defending yourself and a woman from being touched without her consent. It’s important to remember that even though the police may not care to listen, the legal system does.

That’s why it’s crucial to have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney on your side.
