Representation for Violent Crimes
Aggravated assault is a crime that can occur in a variety of ways. These charges can range from class 2 to class 5 felonies with penalties that increase substantially as a result. Under Arizona law, aggravated assault may include situations where:
- A person uses a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument to commit an assault
- A person assaults another individual in a private home of another after entering the home with the intent to commit the assault
- A person 18 years of age or older commits an assault upon a child who is fifteen years of age or under
- A person causes serious physical injury to another
- A person commits an assault against a police officer
The circumstances of the case and factors such as the severity of the injuries suffered by the victim, whether a weapon was used in the assault and the past criminal history of the suspect will all affect the level of the charge and the potential penalties that could be leveled against a person convicted.
