Up Against Serious Assault Charges? You Need a Lawyer Who Will Fight For You 

Having spent the last three decades successfully defending clients against major criminal charges, founder and managing lawyer Keith S. Knochel understands the challenges you are up against. 

Many people are unaware that merely threatening to cause bodily harm to someone can be considered assault, according to Arizona law. If you are involved in an altercation involving serious bodily harm, a dangerous instrument or a firearm, you can be charged with aggravated assault.

Depending on your charges, you may be facing a mandatory prison sentence of up to 15 years or more. Our competent Bullhead City assault attorneys are committed to minimizing your legal consequences. We are familiar with the tactics used by prosecuting teams in assault cases, and will adamantly attack their case by asking important questions, including:

- Were you acting in self-defense?

- Were you acting in defense of a third person?

- Does the individual accusing you of assault have a history of violence?

- What are other witnesses saying?

- Could this be a case of mistaken identity?
