Tonight, our firm secured a not guilty verdict in a misdemeanor assault and battery case in Caddo County. From the beginning, our client maintained that he was acting in self-defense and refused to give in to the pressure to take a deal. He stood his ground and the jury agreed.

In the grand scheme of the criminal justice system, misdemeanor assault and battery is often viewed as one of the least serious charges, carrying the lowest range of punishment for any misdemeanor. Because of that, it’s easy for people to think it’s “not a big deal.” But the reality is, when you’re the one facing a criminal charge...any charge...it is a big deal. Your reputation, your record, and your peace of mind are all on the line. That’s something we never lose sight of.

So congratulations to Swain Law Group attorneys Tom Hamilton and Dan Pond on receiving their latest Not Guilty verdict.
