Success in Assault Cases

For many categories of crimes, and for assault crimes in particular, there are different levels of offense. A simple assault is a misdemeanor, for example, while an assault with a deadly weapon is a felony charge with mandatory jail time. In Kansas, the rules that define each degree of assault or aggravated battery are complex. This means that a prosecutor may tend to exaggerate the nature of an alleged offense. For a criminal defense attorney however, it may provide a means to successfully defend the charge or to negotiate a lesser charge with the prosecutor.

Attorney William P. Mahoney understands the complexities of the laws that define the different degrees of assault and aggravated battery. Mahoney Law Office thoroughly investigates all aspects of the events that led to the arrest. Depending on the facts of the case, we aggressively seek a dismissal of charges, a negotiated plea or victory at trial.

In every case, Mahoney Law Office seeks to preserve our client's freedom and obtain the best outcome possible.
