Understand the Charge

What Is Assault?


Assault can range from minor incidents to more serious offences, and the legal consequences vary depending on the nature of the charge. Generally, an assault involves the intentional use of force, or the threat of force, against another person, whether or not physical harm actually occurs.

No matter the type of assault charge you are facing, our experienced criminal lawyer Tweed Heads team has the expertise to guide you through the legal process and mount a strong defence on your behalf.
