Question

If I have simple ordinance violation stating assault because I made first contact, can it be cleared instead of taking lesser offense

Answer

It is impossible to predict your defense chances without knowing the facts. You need to consult directly with an attorney in your area, who can have access to the citation and the surrounding facts.

Good luck

Answer

Only if the prosecuting attorney chooses to dismiss the charge.

Answer

You need to hire an attorney. Your attorney can then advise you whether your case should go to trial or whether a plea bargain that avoidws a conviction would be in your best interest. I handle these cases regularly. Feel free to contact me directly.
