Aggravated assault is a stronger form of assault sometimes using a deadly weapon. A person has committed an aggravated assault when that person attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another person, knowingly or recklessly exhibiting indifference to human life or attempting to cause bodily injury to another person with a deadly weapon.

The differentiation of aggravated assault and simple assault is determined by the offenders’ intent to cause injury to the victim (murder, rape, etc.) or by the use of a deadly weapon.

Because sentencing for aggravated assault is more severe than that of simple assault, it is imperative that you have competent legal council defending you against these serious charges.

At Rizio & Nelson all charges will be thoroughly reviewed by a competent attorney to ensure that the best defense possible will be made. The attorneys of Rizio & Nelson are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you with defending yourself against these charges.
