Re: simple Assault

Jail time is possible, but that will only happen if the person has a criminal record. Fines will be assessed. Probation is possible too and community service is more likely.

The most important thing is that the person will have a criminal record. I suggest you get an attorney if you are facing this charge. With an attorney, there is a good possiblity that you can get these charges dismissed.

My initial consultations are always free and I will be checking my voicemail all weekend, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.
