California Assault and Battery Charge Lawyers
If you have been charged with a violent offense, you need a lawyer who has handled numerous serious criminal cases — a law firm you can trust with your future and your freedom. The San Diego criminal defense attorneys at the Law Office of John R. Fielding, Jr. & Associates have the experience you need.
Experience in All Cases, Including High-Profile Cases
Our firm has handled high-profile assault, sexual assault (rape) and homicide cases, including death penalty cases. Our lawyers have defended clients in highly publicized criminal defense cases that pack the courtroom with news reporters. We are skilled in all facets of criminal defense and know how to effectively address the press attention these cases generate.
John R. Fielding, Jr., is certified by the California Board of Legal Specialization as a criminal law specialist. As of September 2009, he was one of ten Class VII criminal defense lawyers in San Diego eligible to represent indigent clients in state murder cases where the Office of the San Diego District Attorney has announced its intention to seek the death penalty.
Our criminal defense practice is not, however, limited to high-profile cases. We are just as dedicated to defending clients whose cases do not make headlines. When our criminal defense law firm defends you, your case will receive the personal attention of skilled, passionate attorneys.
Reducing the Charges Against You
When the prosecution formally files criminal charges against you, that is merely the beginning of the process. Our office will vigorously fight to prove your innocence or reach an acceptable resolution of your case.
For example, we frequently represent clients arrested for bar fights or fighting in public. These are typically charged as felony assault or assault and battery. Many times, such a charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor such as disturbing the peace.
In all cases, we explore alternatives to custody for our clients, including participation in anger management counseling or substance abuse treatment. We investigate the facts of each case to determine the appropriate defense strategy and devise an approach that will be most effective in achieving our client's goals.
