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.
