If you have been accused of striking or hitting another person you may have been charged with assault, which can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor in Ohio. Simple assault is a first degree misdemeanor, while felonious assault is a second degree felony. In Ohio, we also have what is known as aggravated assault, which is a fourth degree felony. In almost all assault cases there are conflicting stories concerning what happened. Our Cleveland Assault Attorneys will perform a thorough investigation in an effort to show that reasonable doubt does exist when it comes to your assault case. Assault can carry serious penalties such as prison or jail time, community control sanctions (probation), and restitution for the victim's medical bills.
Our Cleveland Assault Lawyers will talk to all witnesses, review all evidence, and get to the bottom of your Ohio Assault case.
If it appears like you may have engaged in an assault, our Ohio Criminal Lawyers will still attempt to uncover mitigating circumstance, which can help us to plea your case down to a lesser charge or lessen your sentence.
