Facing an assault charge can be a daunting and life-altering experience. Many people make the mistake of underestimating the seriousness of these charges, believing they’ll walk away with just a slap on the wrist. The reality is that a violent crime conviction can severely impact your career and future. At The McShane Firm, we are here to help you fight these charges and protect your future.
The Impact of an Assault Conviction
A conviction for assault will leave you with a violent crime on your criminal record. This record is accessible to anyone, including potential employers, who often conduct extensive background checks before making hiring decisions.
Consider this: if an employer is choosing between equally qualified candidates, and you have a violent crime on your record while others don’t, who do you think they will choose? The presence of a violent crime conviction can make it extremely difficult to secure any job, even minimum wage positions.
- Restaurants: They won’t want someone with a violent background serving their patrons.
- Schools: They will avoid hiring anyone with a violent record around children.
- Retail Stores: They will be wary of trusting someone with a violent history at the cash register.
Many employers have strict policies against hiring individuals with violent crime convictions, making it hard to not only get a job but also to keep one.
There is Hope
Despite the severity of assault charges, there is hope. A charge is not an automatic conviction, especially if you choose the right attorney to handle your case. At The McShane Firm, we have a distinctive approach to defending assault cases.
- Understanding Self-Defense:
- Often, the police do not thoroughly investigate the facts and end up charging individuals who were merely defending themselves. Just because you are a man, or are bigger, or didn’t sustain injuries, doesn’t mean you are guilty.
- The Science Attorneys:
- We are highly trained in forensic science and know how to challenge the evidence collected by the government. This scientific expertise is a crucial aspect that sets us apart from other law firms.
