Silver Spring Assault Defense Lawyer

Assault charges in Silver Spring range from misdemeanor second‑degree to felony first‑degree, with many cases involving domestic‑related allegations. Your case may be heard in the Silver Spring or Rockville District Court, or the Montgomery County Circuit Court. We move fast on release conditions, preserve body‑worn camera (BWC) and 911 evidence, and build leverage through focused motions and a trial‑ready approach.

Cases We Handle

  • Second‑Degree Assault (credible disputes, proportionality, offensive contact)
  • First‑Degree Assault (serious physical injury, alleged weapon use)
  • Domestic‑Related Assault (no‑contact orders, protective orders, collateral issues)

See our resources: second‑degree assault, first‑degree assault, domestic assault, and self‑defense.

Evidence We Scrutinize

  • BWC, dispatch/CAD logs, and 911 audio
  • Statements: Miranda, custody, voluntariness, and scope
  • Injury documentation, causation, and medical records
  • Doorbell/business video and scene photos

Defenses and Motions

  • Self‑defense/defense of others
  • Mutual affray and credibility contradictions
  • Lack of intent or offensive contact
  • Suppression of unlawful statements or searches

Domestic‑Related Considerations

We coordinate no‑contact conditions, protective order hearings, and counseling only when it helps your outcome. We prepare targeted mitigation so the court sees the full context.

Process

  1. Immediate triage and plan. 2) Evidence preservation. 3) Motions that matter. 4) Negotiation vs. trial.

Sentencing & Mitigation in Silver Spring

If a sentencing is likely, we prepare early. We document employment and education, arrange counseling where appropriate, and gather letters of support. The goal is to show the court credible progress and context beyond the charging language. We tailor mitigation to what Montgomery County judges actually weigh.
