At Essere – The Defenders, we represent clients charged with common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, affray and other violent offences. Matters range from one‑off incidents to more serious allegations involving weapons or groups.
Yes, if you reasonably believed you or someone else was under threat, self‑defence may be available. A lawyer will closely analyse witness accounts, CCTV and medical evidence to see if this can be argued.
Jail is possible for serious or repeated assaults, especially where there is significant injury or prior violence. Strong representation can help reduce this risk by presenting your background, remorse and any rehabilitation.
Witness evidence often plays a central role in proving or disputing what happened. A defence lawyer can challenge unreliable accounts and highlight inconsistencies across different statements.
