What is Aggravated Assault?

In Georgia, aggravated assault is defined as an assault with the intent to rob, rape, or murder another person. Aggravated assault can occur by the use of an object that is likely to inflict serious injury or a deadly weapon.

Another form of aggravated assault can involve an accused person discharging a firearm in the direction of another from within a vehicle without legal justification.
What separates aggravated assault from simple assault is the dangerousness of the assault.

What Are the Penalties for Aggravated Assault in Georgia?

Because aggravated assault is a felony, the penalties can be severe. The penalties for aggravated assault will depend on many factors, such as:

  • The defendant’s criminal history
  • The victim’s status
  • The circumstances of the crime

A person who is convicted of aggravated assault can face imprisonment ranging from one year to twenty years.

How Can An Aggravated Assault Defense Lawyer Help?

When you hire an attorney at the Hines Law Firm, the first step is reviewing your case and determining whether or not the prosecution has the evidence needed to convict, whether the police made any errors, why the incident took place, whether the alleged victim was the aggressor, and what strategy will be the most effective.

An experienced aggravated assault defense lawyer at the Hines Law Firm can use the following arguments to fight your charges:

01Inability to Commit a Violent Injury

At the time of the incident, the person charged with aggravated assault must have had the intent and the means to commit great bodily harm. As an example, if that person had an unloaded firearm, an aggravated assault defense attorney could argue that their client couldn’t inflict great harm.

02Self Defense and/or the Defense of Others

At the time of the incident, the person charged with aggravated assault must have had the intent and the means to commit great bodily harm. As an example, if that person had an unloaded firearm, an aggravated assault defense attorney could argue that their client couldn’t inflict great harm.

03False Accusation

If there’s a lack of witness testimony or hard evidence against their client, the case may be dismissed since there’s only hearsay.

04Lack of Intent

If their client inflicts harm on another person accidentally, the attorney can fight to have the case thrown out.
