The Prosecutor’s Burden

An assault case can be based on any unlawful touching, or even just a threat or attempt to do so. These cases are rarely simple and as a result there are several different defense strategies. Our law firm is experienced in handling assault charges.

Potential Punishment

Being charged with assault is, of course, extremely serious. You will face punishment if you are convicted. There are several factors that will go into determining what type of punishment could result:

• the manner in which the assault occurred
• the amount of harm that resulted (and was intended)
• the prior criminal record of the defendant

Penalties can range from up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine to several years in state prison.
