Aggravated Assault

Phoenix, Arizona, Aggravated Assault Attorneys

Have you been charged with aggravated assault or another violent crime in Arizona? The criminal defense attorneys at Allen, Tunac & Coughlin, PLLC can help. We have extensive experience representing clients charged with aggravated assault. Three of our attorneys are former criminal prosecutors. We are all skilled trial lawyers and we will aggressively defend our clients.

Protect Your Rights

In preparing for your case, we will thoroughly evaluate the prosecution's evidence.

  • If the prosecution has insufficient evidence to prove their case against you, we will seek a dismissal of the case, or some of the counts against you, or an acquittal at trial.
  • If the prosecution has sufficient, substantial evidence to prove the case, we will aggressively negotiate a plea agreement that best protects your rights.
  • If the prosecution refuses to enter into a fair compromise, we will take your case to trial.

In Arizona, there are many factors that elevate a physical assault to an aggravated assault, including but not limited to:

  • Serious physical injury to another resulting from the assault
  • Use of a deadly weapon during the assault
  • Entering a private home for the purpose of committing the assault
  • Assault by an adult against a child aged 15 or younger
  • Assault knowingly committed against a peace officer

We are practiced at building a defense to a charge of aggravated assault. For example, sometimes the "victim" of the crime actually instigated the violence. In such a case, a self-defense plea may be available.
