Defending Against Serious Assault Allegations

While the legal definition of assault varies by jurisdiction, in North Carolina assault is typically defined as an act of physical violence that results in injury to another or an attempt to commit physical violence with the intent to do harm to another person. Regardless of the definition, prosecutors take assault charges seriously and will seek harsh consequences in an effort to avoid future offenses.

Assault charges not only impact a person’s freedoms, reputation and employment, but violent crimes can also affect divorce and child custody proceedings, making them far more complex and challenging. If you are convicted on assault charges in North Carolina, you may even lose your right to purchase firearms.
