Self-Defense: A Key Strategy in Your RI Assault Case
On more than one occasion, our team has successfully defended clients at trial by invoking the doctrine of self-defense. This is the most utilized defense available to someone charged with an assault crime.

- The defendant believed that he/she was in imminent danger of bodily harm due to the actions of another person.
- The force used to repel the attack was reasonable.
- The defendant did not respond to the threat of bodily harm by shooting an armed weapon.
