Assault by Beating Solicitors in Coventry
At Askews Legal LLP, we provide robust defence representation for individuals accused of common assault, including assault by beating, across Coventry and Warwickshire. This offence, though often considered less serious than ABH or GBH, can still result in a criminal conviction, fines, and even imprisonment.

What Constitutes Assault by Beating?
Assault by beating is charged under section 39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. It involves intentionally or recklessly applying unlawful force to another person—even minimal physical contact can qualify. Our legal team will assess the facts, cross-examine witness evidence, and ensure that your side of the story is fully presented.
We regularly defend clients accused of minor assaults arising from domestic disputes, confrontations in public, or heated exchanges that escalate. We take into account mitigating factors and work towards securing a dismissal or minimising the impact on your future.
