FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
What should I do if I’ve been charged with assault?
Stay calm and don’t answer any police questions until you’ve spoken with a lawyer. Contact Jameson Law immediately for expert legal advice. Early representation can make a major difference in your case.
What are the different types of assault charges?
Assault charges vary in seriousness and include common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm (AOABH), grievous bodily harm (GBH), and aggravated assault. Each carries different legal consequences.
Can I go to jail for an assault charge?
Yes. Depending on the severity of the offence, you could face a fine, a good behaviour bond, or imprisonment. Our lawyers aim to reduce penalties or have charges dismissed where possible.
Do I need a lawyer if I plan to plead guilty?
Absolutely. Even if you plead guilty, a lawyer can help present your case to the court in the best possible light, potentially reducing your sentence and avoiding a criminal record.
What is the difference between common assault and aggravated assault?
Common assault usually involves minor or no physical injury. Aggravated assault may involve serious harm, use of a weapon, or occur in specific circumstances (e.g. against police or in domestic settings), and carries heavier penalties.
Can I defend myself against an assault charge?
Yes. Possible defences include self-defence, lack of intent, or mistaken identity. Our team will assess the evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
Will I have a criminal record if I’m convicted of assault?
Yes, a conviction will appear on your criminal record. However, in some cases, we can help you avoid a conviction by negotiating with the prosecution or applying for a section 10 (non-conviction order).
Can I get legal advice remotely?
Yes. We offer consultations over the phone or via video call for your convenience and privacy.
