Brett Purtzer - We represented clients at the Special Commitment Center for the State of Washington and resolved the water issue case for $7,500,000.
Attorney Wayne Fricke, again, convinced the prosecution to dismiss charges against his client, which would have ended up in him spending the rest of his life in prison, had he been convicted. This was no easy task, but due to his independent investigation and legal motions to the court, he was successful in obtaining medical records and multiple interviews of one of the complaining witnesses, including an in court deposition with the judge present to order her to answer the questions that were asked. Normally, an attorney is entitled to a single interview, but because of the uncooperative witness and his determination to seek justice, he secured five interviews. Based on all of this, and his advocacy on behalf of his client, the prosecution agreed to dismiss the case “in the interests of justice”.

Is self-defense a valid defense for assault?Yes, self-defense can be a valid legal defense against an assault charge. If you reasonably believed it was necessary to use force to protect yourself from harm, this may absolve you of liability. The specifics of self-defense laws can vary by jurisdiction.
-
What happens at an assault court hearing?During an assault court hearing, the charges will be formally stated, and you or your attorney will have the opportunity to respond. Evidence will be presented by both the prosecution and defense. The goal is to determine guilt or innocence, unless a plea deal is reached prior.
-
How does an assault investigation proceed?An assault investigation typically begins with the police gathering statements from involved parties and witnesses. They may collect physical evidence and review medical records if injuries are involved. The prosecutor then decides whether there's enough evidence to file formal charges.
-
Can assault charges affect my job?Yes, assault charges can affect employment, especially if your job involves security clearance or working with vulnerable populations. Employers may view charges as a risk. It's crucial to manage the situation legally and seek penalties that won't result in a conviction on your record.
