A Mission Viejo Assault Attorney Protecting the Rights of Clients
A fight is not equal to an assault. Winning a fight does not mean you engaged in a battery. The state of California has strong self-defense laws, protecting those who are merely physically protecting themselves or others. Even if you strike the first blow, you may not be guilty of assault and battery.
