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.

Assault in the third degree §707-712 (1) A person commits the offense of assault in the third degree if the person:

  • Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person; or
  • Negligently causes bodily injury to another person with a dangerous instrument.

(2) Assault in the third degree is a misdemeanor unless committed in a fight or scuffle entered into by mutual consent, in which case it is a petty misdemeanor.

Assault in the State of Hawaii may be charged in three degrees. Assault in the third degree is the least serious offense. To be convicted of Assault in the third degree, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused bodily injury to another person; or that this individual negligently caused bodily injury to another person with a dangerous instrument. Assault in the third degree is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine and restitution unless committed in a fight or scuffle entered into by mutual consent, in which case it is a petty misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail, $1,000 fine, and restitution.

As a member of the AOR program, Attourney Rachel Moss helped handle a situation I was involved in and I can’t say enough good things about her and the program itself. She had my back immediately and helped me throughout the entire ordeal. She was very quick to respond to me, answered all my questions and helped me out tremendously. I would totally recommend the AOR program to others.

I just completed the upgrade, and it was easy and quick because I had already watched the video. I watched again most of it to refresh my memory of all the benefits. To have representation before a self-defense incident is comforting therefore not hesitate to protect myself and my family under duress. I know I don't want to hurt or kill anyone with my firearm but to be afraid of the ramifications and die because I'm afraid for my family's existence is counterproductive to having a firearm at all. I recommend this method, as one of the steps in self-defense.
Response from the owner:Hi Casey. Thanks for your kind words! We are honored to represent you. Marc
