Assault / Aggravated Assault

Case Result - Assault - Dismissed

Client was arrested and charged with Assault family violence, he was already on probation for Driving while Intoxicated and a motion to revoke his probation had been filed. Prosecutors originally refused to dismiss the Assault charges, Mr. Bloomquist filed a motion for speedy trial, and set the case for trial. On the day of trial prosecutors dissmissed the assault charges. In a seperate court Mr. Bloomquist got the client back into compliance with his probation, he convinced the prosecutors and probation department to change their recomendations to revoke the client and after a brief hearing the judge agreed to continue the client on probation with no jail time.

Aggravated Assault

An aggravated assault can be committed by threatening or causing bodily injury (pain) while using or displaying a deadly weapon. Serious bodily injury causes a substantial risk of death or disfigurement or long-term impairment. Generally, aggravated assault is a second-degree felony punishable by a fine not to exceed $10,000 and up to 20 years confinement in prison.

When charged with a violent crime, the stakes are raised. Prosecutors faced with a community demanding they "get tough on crime" have their backs to the wall. You could be facing serious jail time as well as having a record of a violent crime that will follow you for the rest of your life. Having an experienced and able trial attorney can make all the difference in your outcome.
