Assault & Violent Crimes Defense in Louisville, KY
Aggressive Defense for Charges That Can Change Your Life Forever
Violent crime charges — whether it’s assault, harassment, strangulation, or wanton endangerment — come with some of the harshest penalties in Kentucky law. You could be facing jail or prison time, loss of rights, and a damaging criminal record that follows you for life.
At Farra Law Firm, we know what’s at stake. Attorney Matt Farra brings nearly 20 years of courtroom experience to every case. He doesn’t just prepare for court — he prepares for a fight.

- Assault in the first, second, or third degree

Your Side of the Story Deserves to Be Heard
Violent crime accusations are often emotionally charged and complex. Witnesses may be biased. Officers may assume guilt. Prosecutors may pursue aggressive penalties even when the facts don’t support them.
At Farra Law, we believe that your version of events matters — and we’ll investigate every angle to defend your rights.
Common defense strategies include:
- Self-defense or defense of others
- Lack of intent or provocation
- False or exaggerated allegations
- Mistaken identity
- Lack of evidence or witness credibility issues
- Police misconduct or due process violations
What’s at Stake in Violent Crime Cases?
Depending on the charge, a conviction can result in:
- Long-term incarceration (especially for felony assault)
- Permanent criminal record
- Loss of firearm rights
- Immigration consequences
- Job loss or professional license issues
- Protective orders (EPO/DVOs) that affect housing and child custody
These charges follow you for life — which is why we fight them with everything we’ve got.
