Assault

If you’ve been charged with assault in Las Vegas a qualified criminal lawyer can examine the details of your case to secure the best possible outcome for you in court. Assault can be charged in either the first or second degree, depending on the circumstances. First degree assault charges are always more serious than second degree assault charges. However, when second degree assault is perpetrated on a police officer or other law enforcement officer, the consequences are more severe than in other cases of second degree assault.
