Chandler Aggravated Assault Lawyers

The crime of Aggravated Assault is a very serious felony offense in Arizona. If convicted, you can expect severe penalties that could include jail or prison time. In addition, you should expect hefty fines, restitution, and probation which is sometimes imposed even after incarceration. If convicted, you will also have a criminal record that will likely have a negative impact on your ability to find employment, rent an apartment, and other areas where a background check may be required. You will also lose your right to possess a firearm, which in some cases can be permanent.

In Arizona, assault is defined as knowingly or recklessly causing physical injury to another person; or knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke; or intentionally causing another person to reasonably fear imminent bodily harm.

Often, people get charged with aggravated assault by committing what may have been a misdemeanor assault, but because they caused a serious injury or used a weapon or dangerous instrument while committing the assault, the charge is elevated to aggravated assault. There are many other ways to elevate a misdemeanor assault to an aggravated assault. To find out more about how a misdemeanor assault can be converted into a felony aggravated assault, see A.R.S. § 13-1204.

Penalties

The penalties for aggravated assault first-time convictions in Arizona can vary based on many factors. Aggravated Assault charges in Arizona range from a Class 6 felony to a Class 2 felony, with class 2 being the most serious. Additionally, Aggravated Assault can also be charged as either a “non-dangerous” or a “dangerous” offense. For the first-time offender, most non-dangerous felonies are probation or prison eligible. However, all dangerous felonies require mandatory prison.

If you have been charged with aggravated assault in Arizona, you should take it very seriously and seek representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney. Even a Class 6 felony conviction could mean prison time and affect you for the rest of your life.

Joey N. Hamby, Esq really went above and beyond for my case. He answered my call in the middle of the night when I was unsure of how to handle the situation regarding a order of protection. after that, he followed up with the case. Joey ensured that all of my legal fees were taken care of and I was in the hands of a good attorney. He also continued to check up on me throughout the course of the time. afterwards, He followed up to ensure that I was satisfied with all service. I would highly recommend using him and A.O.R. and also understand that they do more than just protect you in shooting instances. It covers a lot more than just that. my legal fees would have been well in excess of eight thousand dollars. If I had to pay them out of pocket.

Attorneys for Freedom law firm represented a family member in a serious felony case that went to trial. The family member was facing possible decades in prison if convicted of the false allegations. While the family member was innocent of all the charges leveled against him, we used the expertise of veteran lawyers at Attorneys for Freedom to lead the way through the intricacies of the court system. After weeks of trial, he was found NOT GUILTY.
Joey Hamby and Andy Marcantel did an outstanding job in not only representing the family member in court but also researching all aspects of the case prior to trial. These two experienced trials tested lawyers spent hours with us in preparation to make sure they had all the facts in the case to defend the family member in the best possible way. Those hours paid off from not only working to select the best jurors possible and arranging the correct witnesses to testify on my son's behalf but also defending his rights before the judge and making a solid defense in front of the jury. We want to thank Joey and Andy for walking with us through this horrible ordeal and being at our side every step of the way.
In a serious felony case like this one, you want the best representation possible. We selected the absolute best in Attorneys for Freedom!

Equally, Andy Marcantel will fight for you as well and is a great Attorney. He was an amazing advocate for me who fought hard for the truth! I could not have navigated the system without them, and I recommend Attorney's for Freedom to anyone who's freedom is on the line... you'll be glad you did!
