What to Do if You Are Falsely Accused of Assault ?

When facing a false assault charge, there are a few steps you need to take to protect your rights. In
this situation, we encourage you to do the following:

Use Your Right to Remain Silent
You aren’t legally required to disclose information besides your personal identification when
questioned by the police. You don’t have to explain what happened or your side of things related to
the event in question. You also don’t have to provide any type of written statement. Taking steps to
protect your rights and remaining silent ensures that you aren’t providing information to the
prosecution they can use against you to make you seem guilty of the crime.

Gather Evidence Related to the Situation

It’s a good idea to stay active and involved in your defense from the time you are arrested. If you are falsely accused
of assault, then you need to begin gathering evidence to help prove you are innocent. Make sure to remember and
tell your attorney about any witnesses who saw what happened. All this is going to be important when it comes to
building a defense for your case.

Get in Touch with Our Legal Team

If you happen to be convicted of the assault charge, you can face severe consequences. Sometimes this even
includes jail time. If you have been wrongly accused of assault, our team will start working on your defense right
away. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.

Your Rights When Falsely Accused of Assault

No matter how someone makes you feel when you are arrested, you have rights. If you are falsely
accused of assault, the rights that you have include:

● The right to remain silent
● The right to receive legal representation
● The right to a speedy and fair trial
● The right to gather and present evidence to defend yourself

It’s important to remember that with any criminal charge, you are innocent until the prosecution proves that
you are guilty.

Tips to Help You with Your Case When Falsely Accused of Assault

If you are facing some type of wrong or false assault charge, it’s important to ensure you make smart
decisions as you navigate through the legal system.

When facing these charges, we encourage you to:

● Always cooperate with the police during your arrest. If you are aggressive or fight back, it may make you
appear guilty.

● Take advantage of the right you have to remain silent
● Gather evidence to prove your side of the case
● Don’t contact the person that accused you of assault
● Never post on social media about the assault accusation, your arrest, or other related information
● Show up for all your meetings with your lawyer and court dates

The Impact of False Imprisonment on Assault Charges

Something that is common in many assault charges in cases of false imprisonment. This occurs when someone
prevents someone else from being able to move freely. If you are in a confrontation or argument with someone
else, make sure you allow them to leave or walk away if desired.

Make sure to never keep them from leaving, which means don’t stand in front of an exit or door. Also, don’t force
someone to stay in a spot or sit if they are trying to leave.
