If you have been charged with assault or violence related offending you should engage a lawyer. The judiciary are extremely tough when it comes to dealing with defendants charged with assault. In many cases people have a defence. There are many questions to be answered before entering a plea of guilty to assault.
Why see a lawyer for offending relating to violence?
Things that should be considered prior to attending Court are: Do you have a defence? Have you only been charged because you were present, and not because you were actively participating? Is the alleged victim likely to give evidence at Court? Did the police conduct a record of interview? What did you say on your record of interview? Is the record of interview or field interview admissible? Can you be identified? Are you eligible for Diversion?
These are just some of the questions that need to be answered after a detailed consultation with a criminal lawyer, following receipt of all the evidence. Don’t try and represent yourself at Court because in most circumstances you will do yourself a disservice.
