Atlanta Assault & Violent Crime Defense
If you’ve been charged with assault or another violent offense in Georgia, you’re likely facing some of the most serious allegations under state law. A conviction can lead to jail or prison time, a permanent criminal record, and lasting damage to your personal and professional life. But before you assume the worst, talk to an experienced defense attorney who knows how to challenge these charges and protect your future.
Brenda Rothman defends people throughout the Atlanta area facing assault, battery, aggravated assault, and family violence charges. She listens without judgment, examines every detail, and fights for the best possible outcome in every case.
Understanding Assault Charges in Georgia
In Georgia, “assault” is often used as a catch-all term—but it actually covers a variety of charges, including:
Simple Assault – Threatening to harm someone or taking an action that puts them in fear of harm, even if no contact is made.
Simple Battery – Physically touching or striking someone in a harmful or offensive way.
Aggravated Assault – Assault involving a weapon, serious injury, or intent to commit another felony.
Aggravated Battery – Causing serious bodily harm, disfigurement, or loss of use of a body part.
Family Violence – Any assault or battery committed against a spouse, partner, family member, or someone you live with. These charges carry additional consequences and can affect child custody or gun rights.
Even a “simple” assault charge can have serious consequences—and the details of your case matter more than you might think.
Every Story Has Two Sides
Assault cases are rarely black and white. Maybe you acted in self-defense. Maybe someone exaggerated what happened—or blamed you to cover up their own actions. Maybe there was no intent to harm at all.
Brenda Rothman will take the time to hear your side and thoroughly investigate the circumstances. She understands how quickly a misunderstanding can turn into a criminal charge—and she knows how to expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Consequences That Go Beyond Jail Time
A conviction for a violent offense can follow you for life. In addition to jail or prison time, you could face:
A permanent criminal record
Loss of firearm rights
Difficulty finding housing or employment
Immigration consequences (for non-citizens)
Loss of child custody or visitation (in family violence cases)
Brenda’s goal is always to avoid conviction whenever possible—through negotiation, dismissal, or trial—and to protect your future from the long-term fallout of a violent crime allegation.
