Classes of Assault

Assaults are classified according to severity. Class 1 to Class 3 are misdemeanors while aggravated assault is a felony. The higher the class number, the less serious the offense. Class 1 is the most serious of the misdemeanors and is characterized by knowingly or recklessly causing injury to another person. In Class 2 assault, the victim feared imminent injury by the defendant. In Class 3 assault, the defendant touched another person to provoke them. In many cases, however, some misunderstanding is involved. The Shah Law Firm PLLC of Phoenix, Arizona can evaluate your case to determine how to best defend your rights.
