Aggravated Assault Attorneys
Under Arizona Law A.R.S. § 13-1204, this type of assault is more serious than a misdemeanor assault, and has harsher punishment and sentencing guidelines.
The most common types of aggravated assults occur when an individual causes serious physical injury or substantial disfigurement to another, or uses a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument to intentionally place someone in imminent fear of serious physical injury.
Potential punishments under this statute can vary widely, and many carry a mandatory prison sentence. Call today for a free consultation and put an experienced attorney by your side that will fight to protect your rights and freedom.
