Assault can be charged as a felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor. Simple assault involves an allegation that you caused or attempted to cause physical harm to another person. If you have been charged with assault the evidence is not always clear. What is clear is that assault charges carry serious penalties including extended jail time, fines, and restitution.

If you have been charged with assault in Minnesota, it is extremely important to have a skilled criminal defense attorney review the facts of your case.

• What happened?
• Was there actual physical harm involved or just a threat of harm?
• Is there evidence that you took action in self-defense, as a response to another person threatening you with harm?

You need to have an attorney examine pictures of the crime scene, police records and reports, forensic evidence, and possibly talk to witnesses to prepare a defense.
