Aggrevated Assault

An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. (It is not necessary that injury result from an aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon is used which could and probably would result in serious personal injury if the crime were successfully completed.)

Simple Assault

An unlawful touching of another person. A typical example of this offense occurs during a barfight or conflict on the sidewalk where one person punches, slaps or kicks another. These cases are very defensible and should be litigated fully. Eyewitnesses are usually lined up with either the complaining party or the defense so that manipulation of testimony is very common.
