Honolulu Assault in the Third Degree Lawyer

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.

Hello Mr. Victor, I've been on the A.O.R program since Aug 2022, and have had to use your services five times in the past 2 and half years from my ex-wife and step son. All of five of them where dismissed !! Thanks to Rachel Moss and Tory Srewart professionalism. Actually the entire staff at Attorneys for freedom have always been very helpful and professional. I highly recommend them them for your legal needs.Thank you once again from an A.O.R. program member since 8/22.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are glad to hear that the AOR program was a success!

Lord forbid I should ever require their services.
That aside, customer service is outstanding !!
If you send them a concern or question. Don’t walk to far away, because your response is flying back at you; all of mine were answered same day including weekends.
I recommend them all day long. Cheers

Every time I've called their Law firm... I've asked a question and I've gotten an answer without having to drive 45 minutes and pay someone for a 37 second answer... These people are the Best of the Best... Hope I NEVER have to use their courtroom expertise... If you get my drift 👍👍👍🇺🇲

I recently had a double bill of my wife's membership that I caught on my credit card bill. I called and spoke to Noslen in customer service, she was able to figure out that when my wife upgraded to the new AOR service that she was double billed and took care of the error right away. That was good enough for me to be happy with her service, but she called me back right away and asked if I had been double billed the month before when I upgraded my subscription. I thought I probably hadn't but she checked and found that I had, then started a refund for me also. It is great to do business with a company that hires good people and encourages them to walk the walk as Marc Victor would say. Thank you Noslen and AOR!
