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.

Sentencing & Mitigation in Silver Spring

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.
