Assault

Assault is taking an action that you knew or should have known would cause fear or apprehension of imminent bodily injury in another person. Assault can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the severity of the altercation and any injuries arising from the incident. As criminal assault attorneys, we are familiar with the laws surrounding assault and are well aware of what the state must prove in order to obtain a conviction on the various levels of felony or misdemeanor assault and have had a great deal of success defending assault charges.
