Types of Assault Charges We Defend

Assault charges are wide-ranging in the legal world. They vary from scuffles with scratches and bruises to scenarios where victims are severely injured. Additionally, assault applies to two strangers fighting in a bar, but it also applies to spousal abuse in the home, and more. Because the genre of crime is large, the punishments vary widely. Here are some of the most common assault cases our assault lawyers can help you defend.

• Assault is when a person knowingly or recklessly intends to hurt another person, but without a weapon.
• Aggravated assault is knowingly or recklessly intending to hurt another person while armed with a weapon.
• Domestic violence is an assault that occurs between two members of a family, or people in a romantic or sexual relationship. Child abuse also falls under domestic violence, but it sometimes treated differently. If you or someone you know has been accused of attacking any family members or your partner, contact an experienced domestic violence attorney today.
• Endangerment is intentionally putting another person in danger with the intent of hurting that person.
• Harassment can fall under (or be related to) assault charges but does not typically involve injury.
• Aggravated harassment includes a wide array of more severe forms of harassment, including stalking and violating protective orders.
• A violation of an injunction against harassment is a violation of an order of protection or restraining order. This means that an individual who has committed or may commit domestic violence toward another person has a protective order put out against them and that he or she chose to knowingly violate it. If you believe your loved one will commit assault or harm, talk with an order of protection attorney in Peoria to legally protect yourself.

An assault charge has the power to change an individual’s life for the worse. The two lower classes of assault charges do not require proof of injury, such as a bruise, cut, or a black eye. For that reason, wrongful assault charges happen every day. Additionally, in some cases, the defendant inflicted bodily harm, but not to the extent the accuser asserts. Even in cases where the defendant acknowledges guilt, it is imperative to carry out an investigation and to construct a proper defense to ensure that the court’s punishment fits the crime.
