Phoenix Assault Defense Lawyer

Assault is a crime of violence against another person, which can be physical, verbal or sexual in nature. Arizona statutes define assault as:

  • Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any physical injury to another person; or
  • Intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of impending physical injury; or
  • Knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person.

Most assault crimes are classified as felony offenses, and the penalties for conviction include time in state prison, probation, large fines, community service, mandatory counseling, restitution to the victim and more. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, assault can be elevated to aggravated assault, which is a more serious crime.

Those charged with physical assault, verbal assault or sexual assault in Phoenix’s East Valley have much to gain from the protection that a Mesa assault lawyer can offer.
