Washington Criminal Defense

Most people are familiar with the term assault, but few know what is required for an assault charge. As contained in Utah statute the prosecution must prove that a person attempted, threatened, or caused bodily injury to another to obtain a conviction. A charge of assault can be elevated to aggravated assault if the injury is considered to be serious bodily injury or if a weapon was used in commission of the assault. An aggravated assault charge is a felony charge that carries serious penalties and could result in jail time, restitution and other consequences. With serious charges comes the need for a serious defense attorney to make sure your rights are protected.
