Assaults can range from simple to aggravated, and most often occur when arguments get out of hand. For example, many assaults occur between family members or close personal relations, as emotions can run extremely high during intense arguments. The severity of the sentence you receive for assault depends upon whether the state charges you with felony or misdemeanor assault.

Police officers may try to coerce a confession from you.  Don’t fall for their tricks.  Tell them you want an attorney and refuse to speak until you get one. 

While your intentions might be good, talking to the police without an attorney more often hurts your case rather than helps it.  Contact The Law Office of Sylvia Williams as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve your way of life.
