First Degree Assault Felony Reduced to Misdemeanor Simple Assault

ROCKINGHAM SUPERIOR COURT (March, 2023).

We are very happy that our client's Class A felony first degree assault charged was dismissed and replaced with a negotiated plea to misdemeanor simple assault. Our client was able to avoid jail time and probation through their own hard work, effective negotiations and investigation. Class A felonies are punishable by up to 7.5 to 15 years in state prison. Avoiding a felony conviction is life-altering for many and our client continues to lead a productive and successful life.
