I highly recommend you contact a local criminal defense attorney who will provide you with a free consultation to discuss your matter. Good luck.

It would be an error to provide advice without review of the specific facts in your case. I can tell you Assault 4th degree is a gross misdemeanor carrying a maximum of 364 days in jail and/or $5,000.00 fine.

    From your description of the event, you need to retain an attorney as soon as you can. There are many experienced lawyers who can handle your matter. Makes sure you call around and find someone you are comfortable with. If payments are an issue, many lawyers offer payment plans, as do I.
