Felony Charge of Aggravated Assault Brought Down to Simple Assault

Attorney Fienman represented a young woman involved in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend in Pennsylvania. During the altercation, she stabbed her boyfriend with a knife, resulting in charges of aggravated assault and possession of an instrument of crime.

Attorney Fienman successfully negotiated to have both the aggravated assault charge and the possession of an instrument of crime charge withdrawn.

Consequently, his client will plead to a lesser charge of simple assault, avoiding a felony conviction for aggravated assault.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
