ASSAULT/BATTERY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

In Arizona, an assault/battery is committed when one person either tries to or does physically strike another; or acts in a threatening manner to put another in fear of immediate physical harm. Arizona declares that a more serious or "aggravated" assault/battery occurs when one tries to or does cause severe injury to another; or causes injury through use of a deadly weapon. With over 5,000 reports of assault each year in Phoenix alone, this common crime requires immediate legal representation from the experienced professionals at The Blumenreich Law Firm.

Domestic violence refers to physical harm inflicted on one member of a household or family by another member of the same household or family (usually between spouses). Police respond to over 15,000 domestic violence incidents each year in Phoenix, so if you are charged, quickly call an attorney to avoid "he said/she said" confusion. Domestic violence (sometimes called "spousal abuse") may involve a variety of occurrences, from a one-time incident to repetitive physical and psychological abuse over a period of time. Specific crimes charged usually vary based upon the severity of the victim's injuries, whether a minor was present, and if a protective or restraining order was violated.

If you have been charged with a violent offense, like assault, battery, or domestic violence, you still have constitutionally guaranteed rights. Attorney Josh Blumenreich has extensive experience handling these crimes and will ensure that police, jail, and law officials respect your rights.
