Andover Assault Lawyer

“The liberties of none are safe unless the liberties of all are protected”
– William O. Douglas, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court (1961)

Being convicted of assault can ruin your life instantly. Jail time, massive fines, and a permanent criminal record are just the beginning of the penalties you could face. If you have been accused of assault, now is the time to act. Contact an Andover assault lawyer immediately to understand how these charges could impact your future. With over 42 years of combined experience, our criminal defense attorneys are prepared to fight for you—every step of the way.

Not All Assault Charges Are Created Equal

Assault charges vary in severity, but make no mistake, each one is serious. The penalties you face will depend on key factors, such as:

  • The use of a weapon
  • Your criminal history
  • Whether the victim was vulnerable (e.g., a child or elderly person)

Here is the truth: assault does not always involve striking someone. It is about instilling fear in another person—making them believe they are in imminent danger. If someone threatens harm, it counts as assault. Battery, however, involves physical harm.

You could face simple assault charges for a threat without physical harm, or aggravated assault if a weapon is involved. And do not forget—domestic violence charges are classified as assault, too, and carry even harsher consequences. Whatever the charge, we will poke holes in the prosecution’s case and protect your rights.

At Erkan & Sullivan, P.C., we do not treat your case like a number. We treat it like a battle that must be won. Our assault attorneys in Andover will break down the specifics of your case, explain the penalties you are facing, and develop a ruthless, custom-tailored defense strategy. We do not back down from a fight.

  • Building a winning defense: We will review every fact of your case, analyze the evidence, and develop an aggressive defense to highlight weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
  • Fighting the charges: Whether it is assault, battery, or domestic violence, we do not just accept what the prosecution gives us—we fight back, seeking a dismissal or a not guilty verdict.
  • Negotiating when it matters: If a plea deal makes sense, we will negotiate for the best terms, but we do not accept just any deal. Our goal is the best result—every time.
