Scottsdale Assault Defense Attorney
Have You Been Charged with Assault in Arizona?
An assault charge in Arizona can be for either the threat of physical harm to a person, or actual physical harm to a person. The violent nature of assault crimes means that they are punished remarkably harsh. Prosecutors and judges do not tend to let people off easily for violent crimes, which is why it is extremely important that you retain a Scottsdale criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig.
With the assistance of a qualified and experienced assault defense lawyer at our firm, it is possible that your charges could be completely dismissed, that you could be acquitted, or at the very least, the charges could be reduced.
Simple Assault
Simple assault is a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to a year in jail and up to $2,500 in fines. If convicted, you may also be placed on probation and have to do community service.
Aggravated Assault
Aggravated assault is a felony and is punishable by up to 15 years in a state prison for a first offense. If it is a second offense for a violent crime, it could mean 20 years in prison, and if it is a third offense for a violent crime, up to 25 years in prison.
Certain factors that cause an assault crime to be considered aggravated are: the use of a deadly weapon, or even possession of a deadly weapon while the crime was being committed; serious injury to the victim; assault against a minor; and assault in connection with a sex crime.

I was facing 50+ years in prison for false charges. Randy believed in me. My public defender tried to convince me that Jail and years of intense probation were my only option. I then hired Randy. 3 months later my case was dismissed and I am now at home with my family and get to watch my son grow up. His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy. I have a "checkered past" to say the least and have dealt with over 10 attorneys in my life. Randy is head and shoulders above the rest! THANK YOU RANDY!!- Marcus P.

Having never committed a crime, ending up in jail was a humiliating experience for me. His staff kept me informed, Mr. Craig kept me calm, and in the end he was able to negotiate the right deal for me. He has simple flat rates and doesn't bill you for things like copies and phone calls.- JC
