Local law defines assault as any action intended to cause physical harm. This concept includes both actual blows and threats to inflict them. In criminal law, courts clearly distinguish between minor and serious harm to health depending on the duration of treatment. Particular attention is paid to cases where there is intent to commit a violent act.
A criminal lawyer will help determine the severity of the offense and identify mitigating factors. Any action taken in defense must be legally justified and supported by facts. Our task is to prove that the client had no aggressive intentions, as the correct classification of actions is the key to the successful conclusion of complex proceedings in Dubai.
