In our state, Assault in the 4th degree is a gross misdemeanor. That means the maximum penalty is up to one year in the county jail and/or a $5000 fine plus costs and assessments. If the assault is alleged to include domestic violence, you can also lose your right to possess firearms for life.

Assault 4 is a very serious charge and you should contact an attorney immediately. Our office offers a free consultation on every case!
