What Could Happen if You Are Convicted of Assault?

The penalties for assault vary depending on whether this is your first offense, how badly the alleged victim was injured, your relationship to or the professional status of the alleged victim, and other factors. A conviction could affect your life in the following ways:

Violent crimes, including assault, are typically not eligible for expungement, so a conviction would remain on your record permanently. Anyone considering offering you a job or a place to live would be able to see this record.
You might have to pay thousands of dollars both to the court (as fines and fees) and to the alleged victim (as restitution).
You could spend months or years behind bars, which would take you away from your family, your career, and your community. Your relationship with these people and organizations might never be the same.

This fate is not inevitable: our aggravated assault lawyer in Bensalem can make sure the criminal justice system treats you fairly at every step of the way and fight for the lightest possible penalties—or even a complete dismissal of the case.
