Assault is the most commonly charged violent crime, and the term encompasses more than what most expect. Assault occurs not only when someone physically harms another, but also when they threaten someone with imminent physical harm. A verbal threat and a raised fist could constitute an assault charge. If you have been charged with assault, you could be facing jail time, fines, and more. In certain circumstances, like if the defendant used a weapon or if the victim was a public servant.
