Assault and Violent Crimes

Bremerton, Washington, Assault Defense Lawyer

A conviction for a violent crime can mean facing a lengthy prison sentence. But you knew that. What you may not have known is that a conviction under Washington's three-strike law can mean a lifetime behind bars. If a sex offense is included in the charges, the three strikes may be reduced to two strikes and you're out. Yes, your assault charges are that serious.

Were You Caught in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time?

Many people charged with second- or third-degree assault were caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. Often, an argument in a bar gets out of hand and spills out into the street. Suddenly, several witnesses all have a different story about what happened — and they've all been drinking. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, don't talk to the police until you've talked to Tom Weaver.

When an acquittal at trial appears to be unlikely, we are often able to work closely with prosecuting attorneys to fight for the best possible outcome for your case. That means reducing your charges whenever possible, and always looking for alternatives to the jail time and heavy penalties that can be part of a conviction for assault or other type of violent crime.
