felony assault

Welcome to the Felony Assault service page of Shnider Law Firm. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to providing our clients with the legal representation and support they need when facing felony assault charges under federal and California laws.

Understanding Felony Assault:

Felony assault is a serious criminal offense that involves the intentional and unlawful act of causing physical harm or injury to another person. The specific elements of felony assault vary depending on the jurisdiction, but generally, they include:

Intent: Prosecutors must prove that you intended to cause harm or injury to another person. This intent can be established through your actions, statements, or surrounding circumstances.

Serious Bodily Injury: Felony assault typically involves causing serious bodily injury to the victim. Serious bodily injury refers to injuries that result in a substantial risk of death, permanent disfigurement, or long-term impairment of bodily functions.

Aggravating Factors: Certain aggravating factors, such as the use of a deadly weapon, the victim’s status (e.g., a law enforcement officer or public official), or the commission of the assault during the commission of another crime, can elevate the offense from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Felony Assault Defense: Skilled Representation for Various Types of Felony Assaults in California

When facing felony assault charges in California, it is crucial to have a strong defense strategy tailored to the specific type of assault you are accused of. At Shnider Law Firm, we have extensive experience defending clients against felony assault charges. Our dedicated attorneys are well-versed in California’s criminal laws. They will provide you with skilled representation to protect your rights, challenge the prosecution’s case, and pursue the best possible outcome.

Assault with a Deadly Weapon:

One common type of felony assault in California is Assault with a Deadly Weapon, as defined under Penal Code Section 245(a)(1). This offense involves intentionally and unlawfully assaulting someone using a deadly weapon other than a firearm, resulting in a likelihood of great bodily injury. A deadly weapon can include objects such as knives, bats, or even a vehicle used with the intent to harm.

Our experienced attorneys will meticulously review your case’s circumstances and challenge the prosecution’s assertions. We will thoroughly investigate the alleged weapon’s nature, intent, and possible defenses, such as self-defense or lack of intent to cause harm. We aim to cast doubt on the prosecution’s claims, undermine their case, and protect your rights.

Assault Causing Great Bodily Injury:

Under Penal Code Section 245(a)(4), Assault Causing Great Bodily Injury occurs when an individual intentionally causes significant harm to another person. Great bodily injury refers to injuries that are more severe than minor or moderate harm, including broken bones, internal organ damage, or injuries requiring extensive medical treatment.

To mount an effective defense against this charge, our skilled attorneys will analyze the extent of the alleged injuries and scrutinize the evidence presented. We will consult with medical experts, review medical records, and potentially challenge the prosecution’s characterization of the injuries. We aim to weaken the prosecution’s case by presenting alternative interpretations or explanations for the injuries sustained.

Assault on a Peace Officer or Public Official:

Assaulting a peace officer, emergency personnel, or public official is a serious offense in California. Under Penal Code Section 245(c), this offense occurs when an individual assaults a protected individual, knowing that the victim is a peace officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician, or other specified public official engaged in their duties.

Defending against charges of assault on a peace officer or public official requires a nuanced understanding of the law and a comprehensive defense strategy. Our attorneys will scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault, evaluate the conduct of both parties involved, and challenge the prosecution’s assertions. We will explore any potential defenses, such as mistaken identity, lack of intent, or the officer’s use of excessive force.

Understanding California and Federal Laws:

Felony assault is a serious offense that carries severe legal consequences. To navigate through such charges, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the applicable laws. Here is an extensive overview of the California and federal laws relevant to felony assault:

California State Law:

  • California Penal Code: Under Section 245 of the California Penal Code, felony assault encompasses various offenses involving the intentional infliction of physical harm on another person. These offenses include assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing great bodily injury, and assault with intent to commit a felony.
  • Aggravating Factors: California law recognizes certain aggravating factors that can elevate a simple assault to a felony, such as the use of a firearm, the intent to cause serious bodily injury, or the assault committed against a protected class of individuals, such as peace officers, firefighters, or emergency medical technicians.
  • Penalties: Felony assault convictions in California carry severe penalties, including substantial fines and lengthy prison sentences. The exact penalties depend on the specific offense, the severity of the harm inflicted, and any aggravating factors.

Federal Law:

  • Federal Assault Offenses: Under federal law, assault offenses are addressed through various statutes, depending on the circumstances. For example, assault on a federal officer or employee is covered under 18 U.S.C. Section 111. In comparison, assault with a dangerous weapon or assault resulting in serious bodily injury is addressed under 18 U.S.C. Section 113.
  • Federal Sentencing Guidelines: If charged with a federal assault offense, the United States Sentencing Guidelines provide a framework for determining the recommended sentence. The guidelines consider factors such as the severity of the injury, the use of a dangerous weapon, and the defendant’s criminal history.

Understanding the nuances of both California and federal laws is crucial when facing felony assault charges. At Shnider Law Firm, our experienced attorneys deeply know these laws and their complexities.

Building Your Defense:

When facing felony assault charges, it is crucial to have a strong defense strategy in place.

3. Establishing Reasonable Doubt: We will scrutinize the prosecution’s case and present evidence or arguments that doubt their version of events. This can include challenging witness credibility, highlighting gaps in the evidence, or presenting alternative explanations for the incident.

4. Negotiation and Mitigation: We will negotiate strategically with the prosecution, seeking reduced charges or alternative sentencing options when appropriate. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for you, whether it be through dismissal, acquittal, or a favorable plea.

5. Expert Testimony: Our team has access to a network of reputable experts who can provide professional opinions and testimony to support your defense. Whether it’s a medical expert to explain the extent of injuries or a forensic specialist to challenge the reliability of evidence, we will leverage their expertise to strengthen your case.

6. Constitutional Violations: If your rights were violated during the arrest, investigation, or interrogation process, we will thoroughly examine the circumstances and file appropriate motions to suppress any evidence obtained unlawfully. We are committed to upholding your constitutional rights and ensuring a fair legal process.

frequently asked questions

SHOULD I HIRE AN ATTORNEY WHO ONLY PRACTICES CRIMINAL LAW?

Choose an attorney who specializes in criminal law. The criminal law is complex as there are changes every day. There are always new laws passing, which are also interpreted differently by the courts. It is a full-time job to keep up with all the latest developments. As a result of the complexity of criminal law, some attorneys specialize in appeals for instances. Legal research and written motions are the only services provided by confident attorneys. Some attorneys specialize in DUIs.

Some lawyers specialize in murder cases only. Exclusively practicing criminal law allows an attorney to keep up to date with the latest developments in the field.

It’s not advisable to hire just any attorney in San Jose, CA, especially when it comes to criminal law. When dealing with legal matters like this, it’s crucial to seek out an attorney who specializes in criminal law. A California criminal law attorney possesses the in-depth expertise and up-to-date knowledge of the latest laws and cases that could impact your situation. Opting for an attorney with expertise in criminal law ensures that you receive the most effective representation and guidance tailored to your specific case.

WHAT IF THE LAWYER HAS A BAD RECORD WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR?

The California State Bar recommends that you hire a lawyer who has a clean record. Do you want to hire an attorney with a poor track record? For your best interests, it’s imperative to select a law firm that assigns your case to a top-tier attorney in San Jose, CA, with a track record of excellence, devoid of any significant mistakes or lapses in judgment. Prior to retaining legal representation, it’s advisable to inquire about an attorney’s state bar record, ensuring transparency and accountability in their professional conduct.

HOW IMPORTANT IS EXPERIENCE FOR A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY?

Engage the services of an experienced lawyer. It can be great to hire a new lawyer. Are you comfortable with that lawyer learning on the job while handling your case? Would you prefer to hire an experienced professional? There is no doubt that practice makes perfect in general, as well as when it comes to criminal defense attorneys. Make sure you hire a lawyer with the experience to handle your case.

IF I INTEND TO PLEAD GUILTY, SHOULD I STILL HIRE A LAWYER?

Deciding to represent yourself? Speak with an attorney. If the charges are minor and straightforward, you can express yourself. However, you may need to learn what a case holds for you. Keep in mind that your freedom could be at risk, and there is a possibility that you will go to jail. A lawyer can protect your rights and assist you in your case. You may be able to negotiate a better deal with an attorney for even “minor” misdemeanors. However, if charged with a felony, you should never represent yourself. The consequences of felonies are too severe.

Tom Lukaszczyk

I took on Mr. Shnider’s services when a very unexpected event put me at legal risk while commuting during a normal Sunday outing. The authorities involved did not properly note the happenings of the event leaving me extremely worried for my story and record.

He quickly outlined what we should do and expect- and was able to take my information and investigate into the matter with the exact authorities involved.

Michael M

No one hopes, plans or wants to have to contact a criminal defense attorney however when obstacles and challenges occur in life, you want an attorney such as Aaron by your side. From our first contact, Aaron and his team reassured me and gave me steps to follow as they took charge in my defense. Throughout the process, I was kept informed and given forthright expectations. Aaron not only works to protect you but he is also your biggest advocate. Attorneys like Aaron protect your innocence while also playing the very important role of keeping the system fair and in check for citizens.

UPDATE: Not one year after I was represented by Mr. Shnider in legal proceedings, a family member of mine had their own situation arise inadvertently. My immediate reaction was to contact Aaron to seek for assistance. As I began to explain the situation, Aaron took a moment to slow me down and personally congratulated on a personal unrelated event that in my rush, I myself have forgotten. Aaron quickly made contact on our behalf and advised us on remaining calm and protecting our rights. In the subsequent weeks, Aaron kept us informed of proceedings and was always available for contact. Aaron isn’t only your attorney, he’s a true scholar of the law and a personal friend.

Kevin W.

Where do I begin
This law firm helped me when no one would give me answers about my husband. His case was out of state and no one would help me or give me any information on the process of extradition. This law firm helped me, called my husband parole office to get information, called the courts to get him a court date. I really appreciate all the help they provided in a time of need. 100% recommend. I talked to many lawyers before this company and they were not helpful or would be rude. In this company I was treated with respect, very nice and would answer my last minute texts when I had more questions. Always answered my questions. Thank you so much!

Neda ER

I spoke with attorney Aaron Shnider yesterday and earlier this morning. He was the most patient and understanding lawyer I have ever talked with. He listened even when I was rambling and emotional. He didn’t get short, even though I interrupted him often. He.also sent me some references that he personally thought would help me with my case (DVRO/DIVORCE) I only wish he could have retained him for my Divorce and restraining order. He knew from the start of our conversation he wouldn’t be able to represent me, and he still took more then enough time to hear me out. I actually called him the following day, and he picked up, and talked with me again about my situation. He was kind, understanding and he genuinely cared about me. That couple of phone calls meant more to me then anything I’m dealing with. If he reads this I never made it to the park, but I’m going g for a walk right now, and I feel better, like you said I would 6 stars and he isn’t even my lawyer.

Both Mr. Aaron Shnider and the staff at this firm are so incredibly helpful. They will undoubtedly go above and beyond to help their clients through the difficult legal process. I would recommend Shnider Law Firm to my family, my friends or anybody else in need of legal help. When I needed help with my case I called Shnider Law Firm and immediately received help from a very helpful staff member named Jennifer who was able to answer all of my questions and get me the help I needed ASAP. They are very easy to get a hold of when you have questions regarding your case and when I called they always answer not only Jennifer but Mr. Aaron Shnider as well. I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about these guys and wouldn’t recommend any other firm over Shnider!!

I took on Mr. Shnider’s services when a very unexpected event put me at legal risk while commuting during a normal Sunday outing. The authorities involved did not properly note the happenings of the event leaving me extremely worried for my story and record.
I brought the case to Mr. Shnider with a few goals and truths that he immediately was able to help me feel a sense of confidence and security with. He quickly outlined what we should do and expect- and was able to take my information and investigate into the matter with the exact authorities involved.
I was very impressed with his calm description of steps and incredibly frequent communication! I feel he was able to get connected to the case extremely quick and put out the most important correct information to those whom needed to be informed.
I would highly recommend his professional services and overall decorum if you are in trouble and need a force to help you through a rough time. Mr. Shnider is incredibly honest and fair in his services and I will be keep his contact close should any future happenings affect me! Thank you.

I barely write reviews but our experience with Shnider law firm was exceptional. We hired Aaron Shnider in our family and couldn’t be happier with the result. He walked us through the whole process from the first call, took time to answer all of our questions and was very transparent.

No one hopes, plans or wants to have to contact a criminal defense attorney however when obstacles and challenges occur in life, you want an attorney such as Aaron by your side. From our first contact, Aaron and his team reassured me and gave me steps to follow as they took charge in my defense. Throughout the process, I was kept informed and given forthright expectations. Aaron not only works to protect you but he is also your biggest advocate. Attorneys like Aaron protect your innocence while also playing the very important role of keeping the system fair and in check for citizens.

Hamid Abbassi

As a law-abiding citizen, I had never imagined I would’ve had anything to do with the law until I was falsely accused of something I had never done. Feeling both confident and ignorant, I thought it would go away on its own and therefore didn’t seek legal help. I was wrong. The situation got worse and the next thing I knew was a very serious criminal charge on me. Overnight, my life was turned upside down and my entire family was in peril. I was scared, confused and very emotional. Luckily, I found Mr. Shnider’s firm through a friend. My first impression was that he was very professional and experienced, and his team was available 24/7 to provide legal assistance. This is very important because when you are in such a situation, the least thing you want to happen is that you can’t get a hold of your legal team at a very critical moment. It would remove much of the nervousness and emotion out of the equation and allow you to focus on fighting for your life. Mr. Shnider quickly assembled a team of very dedicated and experienced legal professionals so focused on delivering the best results me. I knew I was in good hands. He reviewed the case, conducted his investigation, and came up with a strategy. He clearly communicated with me throughout the process, educated me, answered any questions that I had, and kept me calm at all times. He gave me hope but never set the wrong expectations. Speaking with him, I felt like not only was he my legal counsel but also, he was my psychologist. I was so well prepared for the legal battle. His professionalism, expertise, dedication and hard work all led to the case being dismissed by the DA. Thank you so much, Mr. Shnider! You are the best.

I was fortunate to introduce him to one of my friends. He is very knowledgeable and he is known for his high level of professionalism. My friends were extremely happy and I am happy I could help them. Thank you again

Ghazal Torun

We were fortunate to work with Mr. Aaron Shnider on my husband’s case. The case was finally dismissed without trial. I knew that I made a right decision to have Mr. Shnider as my husband’s attorney. From the very first day when I spoke with Mr. Shnider on the phone through the entire process, he always showed me and my family his great kindness, comfort, and support with his warm heart. Mr. Shnider is the most talented and brightest criminal defense attorney with many years of great experiences and proven records. He had a very strong background as a prosecutor, a public defender and a private criminal defense attorney. I completely trusted him because I knew he would do everything he could to fight for us. He diligently worked on my husband’s case and thoroughly explained to make sure we understood what was going to happen in every phase of the case. Also, Mr. Shnider set a right and realistic expectation for each step we took. One thing I really appreciated was that we were able to reach out to Mr. Shnider via email or phone call anytime we need regardless it’s after business hours or at weekend. Mr. Shnider was super responsive and patient, he always communicated well with us to address our concerns and questions. I was truly grateful for Mr. Shnider’ s dedication and expertise which helped us get out of a horrible crisis and gain back freedom, reputation and peace in our life. He deeply cared about well-beings of each family member and always reminded us of how to protect our own family in every day. No word could exactly describe my emotions and feelings while I was writing this review. It was a mixed feeling of appreciation and relief for all the hard work that Mr. Shnider dedicated for us. I wanted to say again THANK YOU SO MUCH.
