We Carefully Identifying Defenses To Bolster Your Defense

Mr. Applebaum understands that the outcome of your case will significantly impact your future. To provide a vigorous defense on your behalf, he will take the time to analyze key issues in your case.

Did the alleged assault result in injury? Did you intend to harm the other person? Were you acting in self-defense? Too often, actions that occur during bar fights and other altercations result in unnecessary assault charges. Were you defending yourself in a bar fight? These are just a few of the questions Mr. Applebaum will ask as he determines how to best fight your charges.

After carefully scrutinizing the facts of your case, Mr. Applebaum will develop a defense strategy tailored to seek the best possible outcome on your behalf. His objective in each case is to obtain a charge dismissal or not-guilty verdict. Finding the best possible way to fight your charges is what we do.
