Phoenix, Arizona, Assault Charges Defense
Larry G. Ruch — Attorney at Law
It does not matter whether it was an incident of road rage, a bar fight or something else that now has you facing a criminal assault charge — you need to know that assault is a serious criminal charge with serious criminal penalties that may be imposed on you if convicted. Often the prosecutor will charge an additional offense of disorderly conduct with the assault charge.

Honest, Experienced and Focused on Criminal Defense
As a lawyer, I have been defending people charged with assaults and other types of violent crime for over 35 years in Central Arizona. Some of the specific types of assault cases I handle include:
- Domestic violence assaults
- Assault and battery
- Aggravated assaults
- Assaults with a deadly weapon
- Felony assaults
- Sexual assaults
After having handled thousands of cases and hundreds of criminal trials in my career, the one thing I can tell you about these charges is that you want to avoid being convicted if at all possible. If convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge, you could face up to six months in jail on a first offense. If the assault is against a woman, child, police officer, fireman, teacher, or infirm or disabled person it can be filed as a felony and jail or prison time can be imposed as a penalty. If a dangerous weapon was used or serious physical injuries are involved, the prosecutor can file an allegation of dangerousness, which greatly increases the penalties with mandatory prison time.
I do not charge any fee for the initial consultation or advice given, regardless of whether you retain me as your attorney or not. I also think it is important for you to know that while most lawyers charge significantly more if a case goes to trial, I almost never do.
