Understanding An Assault Charge

An assault charge can be brought against you or a loved one in many different ways. In Arizona, an injury is not necessary in order for someone to be charged and convicted of assault. A person can be charged with assault if the potential victim was allegedly placed in reasonable fear of imminent physical injury or if the victim was touched with the intent to injure, insult or provoke.

Charges of misdemeanor assault could potentially carry punishment of up to 6 months in jail along with fines up to $2,500. That is why it is important to make sure you contact an experienced assault defense attorney if this charge has been placed on you.
