Felony Assault

Defense against assault charges that are prosecuted as felonies.

Back to the John McWilliam, PLLC brand hub

What This Covers

Assault is charged across a range in North Carolina, and what lifts it from misdemeanour to felony is generally the seriousness of injury, the use of a weapon, or the status of the person said to have been assaulted.

That means the same underlying incident can be charged very differently depending on those factors, so how the charge has been framed is itself a subject of the defense.

A felony assault conviction carries consequences beyond sentencing, including long-term effects on employment and record.
