Assault Lawyer in Baltimore, MD

Being charged with assault in the city of Baltimore is a charge with which you will certainly need a lawyer's assistance. Many counties, cities, and states define assault differently; in Baltimore, you need not even touch someone physically to be charged with this crime. In the event you're charged with assault, it's best to have an assault lawyer. In Baltimore, MD, locals turn to Iamele & Iamele LLP for personalized legal assistance.

Why You Need an Assault Attorney

As stated before, committing assault in Baltimore is different from committing assault in other places in the United States. You need not make physical contact with anyone to be charged with assault; instead, Maryland criminal law defines assault as an attempt to touch someone without their consent. Whether the person in question succeeds in touching their target, they may still be charged with assault. If you find yourself facing assault charges, such as any of the following, recruiting an assault attorney is advisable:
 

Reckless Endangerment: One of the mildest Baltimore assault charges is called reckless endangerment. When an individual behaves in a manner that creates a serious risk of injury or death to other individuals, he or she may be charged with reckless endangerment. Some consequences of this charge include up to five years of jail time.

Second Degree Assault: Second degree assault in Baltimore is often classified as a misdemeanor. Individuals that cause physical injuries to other individuals may be charged with second degree assault, and may face jail time and fines without the help of an assault lawyer.

First Degree Assault: When someone injures an individual in such a way that causes permanent disfigurement or impairment, they're likely to be charged with first degree assault. Individuals charged with first degree assault face up to 10 years in prison and a $2,500 fine.
