Honolulu First-Degree Assault Lawyers

Assault crimes in Hawaii are separated into three categories that range in severity. Depending on the severity of the assault, you could be charged with first, second, or third-degree assault, with first-degree assault being the most serious. First and second-degree assaults are felonies, and third-degree assaults are misdemeanors.

§707-710 Assault in the first degree is a Class B felony. You can be charged with first-degree assault if you intentionally or knowingly cause someone serious bodily injury. The government must prove that an individual committed the offense by intentionally or knowingly causing serious bodily injury to another person. The penalties for a first-degree assault could be up to ten years in prison and a $25,000 fine.

An assault conviction can result in a permeant criminal record. This can affect your ability to rent an apartment, find employment, get a professional license, receive educational aid, and more. The stigma of having a criminal conviction on your record will affect you for the rest of your life.

In my view AOR is the premier organization for Concealed carry citizens, I have just had another very Professional interaction with one of their representatives Miss Stacy Peterson, Professional staff and Professional Accessible attorneys is their hallmark, after an unpleasant experience with USSCA it is like finding an oasis in a desert! Thank you, Again Marc Victor, for your work and your staff!

Because I have had a run-in with my local police in the past about defending the life of a third party, I was concerned about police trying to find a way to charge me when I had to defend myself with a knife last night.
I called the Emergency number so that I could avoid a "why didn't you call us" conversation later.
After I was connected to Howard Snader, he listened to my account of the event that transpired as well as the incident from my past. He assured me that I did the right thing by calling and he checked in on me this morning to make sure I was still a free man.
I let him know that assailant had been arrested last night and he is also on an ICE HOLD.

Attorneys for Freedom is an amazing law firm with very experienced attorneys. My attorney who represented me Howard S. from attorneys for freedom was the most informative and experienced attorney I have ever spoke to & kept me calm and reassured throughout the entire process of my self defense incident here in CA. AOR (attorneys for Freedom) is professional, I highly recommended Howard S. from AOR & am proud to have had the opportunity to have him represent me in my case. I knew from the first few minutes of speaking with him while LAPD was on the scene that he was there to help & defend me at all costs and AOR & Attorneys for Freedom will go above & beyond for they're clients . Take it from me 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Isaac. We’re proud of Howard and the professionalism and reassurance he provides in critical moments. Situations like yours can be stressful, and we’re glad you felt supported from the very beginning. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to us.
