If an aggravated assault with a weapon lawyer is able to prove one of the following then their aggravated assault charges will be dismissed:

  • If their client was using nondeadly force in order to defend him or herself then the charges of aggravated assault will be dismissed
  • If the defendant had reason to believe that they were in danger, then it is possible for a veteran attorney to get the charges dismissed. Keep in mind that the reaction to a threat of violence has to be in proportion to the threat that was experienced
