Aggravated Assault Charges
Aggravated assault is considered a serious felony offense in Arizona. Prosecutors may pursue aggravated assault charges when allegations involve:
- Serious physical injury
- Use of a firearm or deadly weapon
- Assault against certain protected individuals
- Assault resulting in substantial bodily harm
A felony conviction can lead to prison time, probation, loss of firearm rights, and a permanent criminal record. Because the stakes are high, it is critical to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney as early as possible.
Domestic Violence and Assault Charges
Many assault cases in Arizona are connected to domestic violence allegations. These situations can become highly emotional and complicated, particularly when protective orders, child custody concerns, or family disputes are involved.
Domestic violence assault allegations may result in:
- No-contact orders
- Removal from the home
- Restrictions involving children
- Firearm restrictions
- Long-term impacts on employment and professional licensing
If you are facing domestic violence assault charges, it is important to work with a defense attorney who understands the seriousness and complexity of these cases.
