The crimes of Assault and Aggravated Assault are serious offenses in Arizona that could result in incarceration. Assault in Arizona is a Class 3 misdemeanor through dangerous Class 2 Felony. A mere Assault charge has severe consequences. And a conviction has negative far-reaching implications. As such, retaining only an attorney with sufficient knowledge and experience in Arizona assault law is necessary.
Definition
A.R.S. §13-1203(A)(1)-(3) defines Misdemeanor Assault. This crime provides the basic elements for all Felony Aggravated Assaults, defined under A.R.S. §13-1204(A)-(B). In addition, Assault and most Aggravated Assaults are Domestic Violence eligible offenses. This designation adds consequences to a person’s sentence, such as 26 weeks of domestic violence classes and potential incarceration.
An Arizona criminal conviction for Assault or Aggravated Assault carries life-long consequences, including a potential of several years in prison. A person also faces a loss of civil rights and a possibility of several years on probation. An Assault case could be defensible, and dependent on a sloppy or erroneous police investigation. Or it may be based on the biased word of a dishonest and motivated witness. Indeed, one should only consult with and retain an attorney experienced with issues an assault case in Arizona may present.
