    Assault covers offences where someone intentionally or recklessly uses unlawful force or threatens such force against another person. A solicitor practising in crime and criminal defence who handles assault cases drafts or reviews witness statements, interviews victims and suspects, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, advises on plea options, and represents the client at pre-charge hearings, bail applications, charging decisions, and in magistrates’ or Crown Court trials, cross-examines witnesses, and assists with sentencing and appeals.
