Aggressive Defense of Assault Charges
- We defend people facing all types of misdemeanor and felony assault charges, including:
- Assault and battery
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Domestic assault, abuse or violence
Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony will generally depend on the level of harm allegedly inflicted. Bruises or contusions are often misdemeanors, whereas broken bones or threats of great bodily harm will customarily result in felony charges.
At the offices of Sjoberg & Associates, P.A., we have handled a lot of assault cases. Because of our experience, we have a strong sense of when you should seek to negotiate a plea bargain and when we should take your case to trial. We will only consider a plea agreement when we believe it is in your best long-term interests.
Long Term Consequences of an Assault Conviction
If you are convicted of an assault crime, the consequences can stay with you for years, perhaps even for life. In addition to fines or jail time, you may lose the right to possess a firearm, which can include a hunting rifle. Furthermore, even though a situation can initially seem minor or inconsequential, some assault charges are considered "enhanceable" and can rise to the level of a felony very quickly.
