Offences Against
the Person

At Murrays Solicitors, we regularly defend clients
facing allegations involving violence or harm to others —
legally referred to as Offences Against the Person.
These range from minor allegations such as common assault to
the most serious, including grievous bodily harm (GBH) and attempted murder.
We know that these accusations can be distressing and often complex.
Whether you are accused of a fight that got out of hand, an allegation
made in a domestic context, or a serious incident involving weapons,
we are here to provide expert advice and robust defence from the outset.
We can represent you in cases involving:
• Common Assault
• Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
• Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) – with or without intent
• Wounding or Inflicting Injury
• Battery
• Assault on Emergency Workers
• Domestic Violence Allegations
• Attempted Murder
• Threats to Kill
• Harassment and Stalking (linked offences)
Our Approach
• Immediate support at the police station
• Clear, honest advice about your position
• Detailed case preparation and defence strategy
• Expert cross-examination of witnesses and evidence
• Use of medical, forensic, or CCTV experts where appropriate
• Strong advocacy in both Magistrates’ and Crown Court
​
We also work with skilled barristers and independent experts
to ensure every aspect of your case is properly challenged.
Where appropriate, we will explore possible defences including
self-defence, accident, false accusation, or lack of intent.
