In Atlanta, assault crimes can be verbal, threatening (non-physical), physical. This is sometimes confusing for offenders that get arrested for assault. If this sounds you’re your case or the case of a loved one, our Atlanta criminal attorney can help you wade through the complex legal battle you are about to embark on.
All assault crimes are considered to be violent crimes, which are most heavily punished under Georgia state law. A crime that would have been charged as a misdemeanor under any other circumstances will be charged as a felony if violence is a factor in the case. For this reason, it is important for anyone being charged with an assault crime to hire an experienced Atlanta assault attorney as soon as they are able.
