Facing Assault Charges?
Assault charges should not be taken lightly. Depending on the circumstances, an assault can escalate into aggravated assault. And if there are prior felony convictions on your record, the consequences can be serious and can include a mandatory prison sentence. If the assault involved a weapon, an individual convicted of assault with a deadly weapon could be facing a minimum of five years in prison.
