Assault

The Denver defense lawyers at LFM Defense are experienced and aggressive in defending clients against assault charges.

Assault, a violent crime, is defined by Colorado law as any action in which a person intentionally or negligently injures or threatens to cause injury to another individual. While the severity of assault charges will depend on a number of factors – including whether a weapon was used and the nature of the alleged victim in the case, any assault charge is a serious matter that could land a person in jail or prison for months or years upon conviction.
