ASSAULT IN WASHINGTON
CLASS A FELONY
First-degree assault is the most serious classification, typically involving deadly weapons or actions intended to cause severe bodily harm. As a Class A felony, it carries penalties of 93-123 months in prison and fines up to $50,000. Conviction also results in the loss of civil rights, including firearm ownership.
CLASS B FELONY
Second-degree assault involves significant injury or weapon use without intent to kill. This Class B felony typically results in 3-9 months imprisonment for first-time offenders, with fines up to $20,000. Sentences can increase significantly for repeat offenders.
CLASS C FELONY
Often involving assaults against public servants or law enforcement, third-degree assault is a Class C felony carrying up to 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. These cases are taken particularly seriously due to the protected status of the victims.

What we were able to achieve in someone else’s case does not ensure that we will be able to do the same for you. We cannot promise or guarantee that you will receive similar outcomes. Our clients receive aggressive and steadfast representation backed by over 21 years of legal experience. However, favorable resolutions depend not only on our skill and experience but on many other issues not limited to the client’s criminal history, evidentiary issues and other factors.
