Nico Romero
Felony Dropped Completely
I'd recommend Angela Hyde and Norwood & Norwood to anyone needing a superior criminal defense attorney in Fayetteville, AR. My charge was considered a class D felony and a violent offense (terroristic threatening). If it were not for Angela and the team at Norwood, this charge would have made my life extremely difficult for many years, possibly decades. Angela was able to help me get this felony dropped completely. Without probation, etc. Don't take a chance on anyone else. Call Norwood and ask for Angela.

Yes, assault charges can affect employment, especially if your job involves security clearance or working with vulnerable populations. Employers may view charges as a risk. It's crucial to manage the situation legally and seek penalties that won't result in a conviction on your record.
What is aggravated assault?
Aggravated assault is a more serious form of assault, typically involving intent to cause serious injury or the use of a weapon. Penalties for aggravated assault are generally more severe than simple assault and can include significant fines and extended prison sentences.
What are the penalties for assault?
Penalties for assault can vary depending on the severity of the offense and jurisdiction. They can range from fines and community service to probation or imprisonment. Factors such as the use of a weapon, injuries caused, and prior convictions can influence sentencing.
What happens at an assault court hearing?
During an assault court hearing, the charges will be formally stated, and you or your attorney will have the opportunity to respond. Evidence will be presented by both the prosecution and defense. The goal is to determine guilt or innocence, unless a plea deal is reached prior.
