Assault Crime Appeals

Michigan Criminal Assault Defense Appeals Attorneys

Assault charges carry a wide range of penalties from simple assault (a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a fine of no more than $500) to the felony charges of assault with intent to rob and steal, or assault against a pregnant woman — both of which can lead to life in prison if you are convicted.

If you have been convicted on charges of assault, you may think your legal options are over, but that is not necessarily true. A few of the post-conviction options you may still have include:

• File a motion for a new trial
• If your sentence was excessive, you may be able to appeal your sentence.
• If you plead guilty and accepted a plea bargain that was not honored, you may be able to motion to withdraw or change your plea.
• If you received inadequate counsel and were found guilty as a result of ineffective counsel you may be able to file a motion for Ginther Hearing.
• If you served your time but your criminal record is holding you back, you may be able to have your record expunged. See "7 Questions to See If Your Assault Conviction is Eligible for Expungement"
