Los Angeles Aggravated Assault Attorney
Aggravated Assault Laws
Assault is an offense involving an attempt to physically injure another person. It does not require that the physical injury of harm take place. Assault is typically charged with battery, which involves actual physical contact with another person that is harmful or offensive. Aggravated assault is an attempt to cause severe bodily harm, with or without a deadly weapon (gun, knife, etc.). Penalties for aggravated assault are determined by any number of factors, including whether or not a deadly weapon was used, the assault occurred during the commission of another crime, the degree of injuries suffered by the victim and the criminal history of the defendant.
