Assault

There are few charges more serious than assault, and unfortunately in the Valley of the Sun these types of charges are all too common. There are on average more than 5,000 reported cases of assault/battery in the state every year, and if you’ve been accused it’s imperative to make sure that your legal representation is equal to the gravity of the situation by calling on Skousen and Reedy, PLC.

Arizona’s revised Statutes define assault as:

  • Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing physical injury to another person
  • Intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury
  • Knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person

In Arizona, assault can range from the mere threat of violence to inflicting bodily harm. Correspondingly, charges may vary from fines to lengthy prison sentences depending on the gravity of the charges leveled against you. Other factors that will determine the severity of the charges against you include whether or not it was a first offense or if you’ve had a history of such crimes.

Whatever the case, assault charges demand the very best in legal representation. Face your charges with an eye on protecting and enforcing your rights with the help of criminal law experts Skousen and Reedy, PLC.
