Assault Lawyer Fairfield, California

In California, prosecutors can elevate penalties in assault or battery charges by adding intentional use of a “deadly weapon” such as a gun, a knife or any other type of weapon to the charge. Prosecutors also attempt to increase penalties to aggravated charges by alleging great bodily injury. Assault with great bodily injury, for example, can increase the penalties associated with a simple assault – which carries up to six months in jail and up to a $1,000 fine – to aggravated assault charges with penalties up to seven years imprisonment and up to a $10,000 fine.
