Assaultive offenses
are some of the most challenging cases
handled by criminal defense attorneys.
Because theses types of crimes often
involve seriously injured victims,
a person charged with such a crime
often finds himself the target of
a very determined prosecution seeking
lengthy confinement.
However,
the list of available defenses to
assaultive offenses is lengthy. Faulty
eyewitness identifications, poor DNA
laboratory work, under-investigated
self-defense situations can all become
matters for a qualified defense attorney
to explore.
Since
1999, Mr. Downey has defended over
175 persons charged with assaultive
offenses. He has located evidence
in numerous situations demonstrating
that the person charged with the assaultive
offense did not, in fact, commit any crime.
