Murder / Assault Crimes

Assault crimes include charges with varying degrees of punishment.

For instance, the following are misdemeanor charges:

• Assault and battery
• Aggravated assault

Felony charges include the following:

• Assault with intent to maim
• Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder
• Assault with intent to commit murder

Domestic violence charges occur when a person causes physical or psychological harm to a person with whom they are partners, former partners, roommates, or who is a family member. Domestic violence may also be known as spousal or domestic abuse, family violence, or relationship violence. Although the circumstances surrounding domestic violence charges can range from serious situations to misunderstandings, hiring professional, experienced, legal representation is important. Domestic violence crimes carry harsher penalties than other assault crimes.
