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.

After researching events of refused coverage by USCCA (I should have read the fine print to begin with), who obviously has decided they're judge and jury, and want's you to pay them back if you loose your case, I dumped them and happy to be here instead. People please beware of USCCA.

A small group of us recently signed up for a group membership with Attorneys on Retainer, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. James Belcher was incredibly helpful—he walked us through the process, answered every question, and got us a fantastic group rate. His support made everything smooth and stress-free.

AOR stands out in a big way. As individuals choosing to exercise our Second Amendment rights and look out for one another, it’s crucial to have real legal protection—especially in more tyrannical states like New Jersey. One of the biggest selling points for us was that AOR now includes coverage for red flag laws, which is a huge deal here.

The peace of mind that comes with being able to call an attorney directly, without worrying about exclusions or fine print, is invaluable. AOR doesn’t make you jump through hoops or hope your case is “perfect” enough for coverage. They’re straightforward, committed, and reliable.

If you’re a gun owner—especially in a state where the laws seem designed to trip you up—get this coverage. You won’t find anything else like it.

As a firearms instructor, I can feel confident in recommending my students and community to reach out to James Belcher as a great point of contact to get the professional and friendly service to seek the legal protection needed for the "after self-defense" defense. Thank you James 🫡
