Leading Criminal Lawyers Adelaide
If you are suspected of having committed or charged with assault then it is important that you seek our expert legal advice immediately and if possible before speaking to police. Our team of criminal lawyers based in Adelaide will give you timely advice to ensure the best result is achieved. Timely advice can determine if the charge is downgraded or dismissed.
The maximum penalties for an assault vary on a number of important factors including whether harm was caused, or if the offence was aggravated. The law allows an aggravated offence to be charged in circumstances specified in s5AA of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935. Commonly this is where the alleged victim is a police officer, domestic partner or was an offensive weapon if used.
One of Adelaide’s oldest and experienced specialist criminal law firms, Mangan Ey & Associates was formed in 1982 when current Managing Partner Stephen Ey amalgamated with John Mangan, now deceased, and Julie Bishop, current Australian deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Assaults are a common issue in South Australian courts and have strict penalties. Our experienced criminal lawyers Adelaide team can help you minimise the impact of an assault charge or sentence on your life by making legal submissions and craft strategies to help reduce penalties.
