This is often an intimidating experience for people. I make things easier for you by doing most of the talking for you, but the judge may ask you a few questions.
It can be difficult to predict the exact outcome of your case. As an experienced Salt Lake City assault with a deadly weapon lawyer , I can tell you how your case compares to others like it. However, each case is unique and the results vary depending on the facts and the laws involved. A judge may consider several things when deciding your case:
Harm to the victim

Type of weapon involved
Whether necessity or self defense was a factor
Often, my clients are surprised to discover that the facts offer defenses to assault with a deadly weapon charges. For example, people who act out of necessity — defending themselves or the people they love — can be found not guilty of a crime. You may have more options than you think.
