Defense against simple assault charges, a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Back to the John McWilliam, PLLC brand hub

What This Covers

Simple assault is a Class 2 misdemeanour in North Carolina, the baseline assault charge where no aggravating factor such as serious injury or a weapon is alleged.

These cases commonly arise from incidents with two accounts and no neutral witness, so the work tends to concern establishing the full context of what occurred rather than disputing a single fact.

The consequences extend past the immediate penalty, because an assault entry on a record carries weight with employers out of proportion to the class of the offence.

At a Glance

Class: Class 2 misdemeanour
Typical dispute: Context and competing accounts rather than a single fact
