All assault charges are serious. The effect on your life of being convicted of an assault charge can be devastating.

Although potential jail and prison sentences can range from 90 days for a simple assault misdemeanor to a long prison sentence for assault with intent to commit murder, there are many other consequences which make any assault a serious charge.

Judges routinely give heavy fines, costs, jail time and probation for charges of assault. As with other crimes, convictions of assault are often published in local newspapers. Moreover, employers may be reluctant to hire someone with an assault conviction.

Felony convictions, including assaultive crimes, often result in the inability to be bonded. Being bonded is a requirement of many jobs and might eliminate you as a potential candidate for some jobs.
