Minneapolis Assault Lawyer

Aggravated Assault Crimes

Assault is the crime of physically harming, threatening or intending to harm another individual. It can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on what occurred. Aggravated assault is the use of a deadly weapon such as a gun or knife. You can also be charged with aggravated assault if you caused great bodily harm that could have resulted in death, or caused an impairment or disability. Aggravated assault is typically charged as a felony, and is punishable by:

  • Imprisonment
  • Fines
  • Restitution
  • Community service

In domestic assault cases, you may also be subject to a restraining order that will prohibit any further contact with the alleged victim.

Grostyan & Associates PLC is a qualified criminal defense firm that can give you pertinent legal advice if you have been charged with aggravated assault. My name is Attorney Tony Grostyan and I am a Minneapolis criminal defense lawyer. I know the impact an assault conviction can have on your future, and my firm will vigorously fight the charges against you.

Defending Against Assault Charges

Assault cases can include crimes such as sexual assault, domestic violence, kidnapping, false imprisonment and robbery. If the crime resulted in physical harm, involved a child or the use of a weapon, you will be facing extremely serious charges that could mean the loss of your freedom. My office will investigate the accusations against you, and competently challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Whenever possible, I will seek a case dismissal or the reduction of charges to a lesser offense. Assault defense can include mistaken identity, self defense, the need to defend others or other mitigating factor. I know the tactics and strategies the prosecution will use when seeking a conviction in your case, and will protect your rights and defend you from the moment of your arrest.
