Assault with a deadly weapon is a serious felony offense, which could result in a significant term of imprisonment. An assault with a deadly weapon, other than a firearm, may result in a prison sentence of up to four years. Aggravating factors, such as an assault with a firearm, machine gun, semi-automatic weapon or assault of a police officer, could result in a longer term of imprisonment [CA Penal Code 245].

If you have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, or another violent crime that could result in a significant term of imprisonment, it is critical that you protect your rights by retaining an experienced criminal defense attorney.
