Aggravated assault is the classification given to the most serious of all assault charges. It generally involves significant bodily injury, use of a deadly weapon, or victimization of an individual with the intent to inflict harm.

Other forms of criminal assault include:

• Injuring another person
• Domestic violence
• Touching with intent to injure
• Verbal threats

Depending on the specific details, even simple assault misdemeanors can yield 12-month prison sentences and 3 years of probation - in addition to fines of up to $2,500. Felony convictions are substantially more serious. First-time felony assault offenders often face prison time. The right criminal defense attorney will ensure that your rights aren't trampled on by prosecutors who are determined to convict.
