Assault Charges
Assault and terroristic-threat cases, including fights that started as something else. Say if there is also a protection order.
Tell us about your caseSimple assault, aggravated assault, and threats
Simple assault, aggravated assault, and terroristic threats are the three phrases people type. Aggravated assault is the charge they search when someone went to the hospital or a weapon was involved. A fight that started as an argument at home is often paired with a protection-from-abuse order. Those are two cases, criminal and family, and people search both.
People also search “we both fought, why was I the only one charged.” The complaint, the county, and any stay-away order are what the desk needs before a referral.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.
What to send
Assault and terroristic-threat cases, including fights that started as something else. Say if there is also a protection order.
The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.
How a referral works
A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
