Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Assault with a deadly weapon is a hybrid offense which can be charged under a variety of scenarios. The most common scenario is an assault which is committed with a deadly weapon, such as a gun or a knife. Under certain circumstances, this offense can be committed, without a weapon, when the force is applied in a manner likely to produce great bodily injury. If you are confused by this definition, you are not alone. Many attorneys do not understand the intricacies of this offense. As such, an experienced attorney is necessary to guarantee a person's rights are fully protected.

Assault with a Deadly Weapon can also be a ‘Strike' under California's Three Strikes law. As such, the consequences of a conviction can be lifelong. For more information on the affect of a ‘Strike' conviction see the information entitled “California's Three Strikes Law” on the home page.

Selecting an attorney is often a difficult process. Be sure to discuss with whomever you choose, any and all viable defenses. Should fighting your case at trial not be the best option, talk to your attorney about the possibility of an alternative sentence, such as community service, electronic home monitoring or work furlough.
