For almost 20 years, people in Seattle have turned to attorney Kris Jensen for help after an assault and battery charge. Attorney Jensen and our firm are committed to helping you protect and defend your rights. Jensen Legal can help you build a strong assault defense using experience and knowledge of the criminal process.

Protecting Your Rights and Presenting Your Side of the Story

No matter the charge against you, it is important to present an accurate and effective defense using your side of the story. To build an effective and strong defense, we:

• Thoroughly review the prosecution's facts and evidence
• Gather evidence and eyewitness testimony
• Verify that the prosecution's version of the events is correct
• Talk with private investigators and other experts when needed
• Present evidence that the alleged victim may be lying, when appropriate
• Determine if mental illness may be a factor
• Identify police misconduct such as tampering with evidence

Regardless of the evidence against you in an assault and battery or domestic violence case, you deserve the chance to tell your side of the story and know your options.

Aggressive Negotiator in Your Defense

If you are truly guilty of domestic assault or battery, we may be able to successfully negotiate with the prosecution to reduce the charges or sentence. Considering your past criminal history and your eagerness to do community service or counseling, we may be able to negotiate a deal in your favor if you agree to plead guilty.

If conviction leads to prison time, we may be able to negotiate a reduced sentence or earlier parole eligibility date. Attorney Jensen's experience as a judge pro tem gives our firm valuable insight into and knowledge of the criminal justice system that can help your case. We can help you prepare a strong assault defense and negotiate fair and favorable deals when possible.
