Arizona Assault Attorney

A criminal assault charge can be the result of road rage, a bar fight, or something in which bodily harm was inflicted on another person. The charge is a serious one and has serious criminal penalties that may be imposed if convicted. There are times when the prosecutor will add a charge of disorderly conduct to the assault charge and that can increase the penalties that result if convicted. What you need is a very focused criminal defense attorney to take on your case and have your penalties reduced or dismissed. If they are not reduced or dismissed, then you need an aggressive attorney to fight the evidence against you by casting doubt upon it and getting a verdict of not guilty.

If you’ve been accused of assault in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Scottsdale or the surrounding area it is important to give Myles A. Schneider & Associates a call before talking to the police.

Types Of Assault Cases

There are different types of assault cases that your Phoenix assault attorney can represent you in. They include:

  • Domestic violence
  • Assault and battery
  • Drive by shooting offense
  • Discharging a firearm
  • Aiming a laser
  • Aggravated assault
  • Assault with a deadly weapon
  • Sexual assault
  • Felony assault

If convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge, the penalty is up to six months in jail on the first offense. If the assault was committed against a woman, child, officer of the law, teacher, fireman, or a disabled person, it can be considered a felonious assault and the penalty could be jail or prison time. If a dangerous weapon was used or serious injuries resulted, an allegation of dangerousness can be filed by the prosecution and that can increase the penalties and result in mandatory prison time.

Aggravated Assault

Aggravated assault is a common assault charge in Arizona and requires an Arizona assault lawyer who will do their best to keep clients involved throughout the entire decision-making process, just like in any case. The client is always the boss with their attorney providing them with the guidance needed to make the right decisions.

Aggravated assault is considered a felony and it is punishable by restitution, fines, counseling, and prison time. Community service may also be required. Unfortunately, a felony conviction of this magnitude can have a lasting impact on a person’s life, so it is a must to seek legal assistance from an experienced attorney as soon as you believe you may be charged and to not say anything to the authorities if you are charged because anything you say can and will be used against you as per the Miranda Rights that are supposed to be read to you upon your arrest.
