Experienced Defense Against Violent Crimes, Assault and Battery

Over our more than 35 years of practice, Mesirow & Fink has represented clients of all ages from all social backgrounds in assault and battery cases in California. Our firm represents people charged with assault and battery after bar fights, physical disputes with a neighbor, and brawls or fights at local colleges. Some local colleges within our region, include San Jose State University, Santa Clara University and San Jose City College.

We have significant experience in representing people arrested for and charged with all types of violent crime and assault, such as:

• Road rage
• Terrorist threats
• Use of deadly force
• Aggravated assault and battery
• Assault with a deadly weapon (ADW)
• Assault in a bar fight
• Attack on a college campus

We have experience in defending all types and levels of assault and battery cases. Aggravation determines whether you will be charged with a misdemeanor or felony. A felony conviction for a violent crime like assault and battery falls under the three-strikes law of California. This law mandates that if you were convicted of two felony violent crimes — even as a juvenile — any new conviction results in a mandatory life sentence in a California state prison.

Providing Experienced, Personal Service to Every Client

Our goal is to minimize the impact of a criminal charge, arrest and conviction of assault and battery. Attorney Charles "Chuck" Mesirow and our team of lawyers and staff have more than three decades of experience in defending clients, and we can provide insightful, valuable legal advice in your case.

Attorney Mesirow spent seven years as a prosecutor for the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, so he knows how the prosecution thinks and evaluates evidence. We will listen to your story and give individualized, personal service based on the facts of your case.
