First Degree Assault/Aggravated Assault Charges
"The Right Man to Keep You Out of the Wrong Place"
Charges of first degree assault which may be referred to as aggravated assault in other jurisdictions can seem minor when compared to charges of murder and attempted murder/homicide. First degree and aggravated assault charges are, however, felony charges, and, , can result in a maximum 25-year jail sentence.
Even when injuries are superficial, sentences can be severe when guns and other weapons that can bring serious harm are used. If you have been charged with first degree assault or aggravated assault, then it is important that you have experienced legal help in defending your case.
