Re: my boyfriend is in for

It is hard to say what he could get. What I can tell you is that he is facing the statutory maximum for the crime for which he was on probation. For an aggravated assault, which is a third degree felony, the statutory maximum is 5 years in state prison. What he will actually be sentenced to depends on many things, including the nature of his violation. For instance, if it was a failure to pay money, the Judge will likely be more lenient than if he violated by picking up a new charge.

If you would like additional information, or would like to discuss his options, please feel free to contact me.
