Assault in Dayton

Leave a comment

Under Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code section 2903.13), the crime of Assault occurs when a person knowingly causes or attempts to cause physical harm to another or to another’s unborn. Assault also occurs where a person recklessly causes serious physical injury.

Generally Assault is a first degree misdemeanor (punishable by up to six months jail and a $1000 fine). Certain aggravating factors can bump a simple assault charge from a misdemeanor to a felony (if the other person is a law enforcement officer, for example).

SUSPENDED LICENSE BLUES

Having a suspended license makes it difficult if not impossible to function in life. Most areas lack even a basic public transportation system or even taxis.

How is a person supposed to maintain a job, support his or her family, go to the doctor or even the grocery store if they can’t drive?

Bicycles are beyond impractical for nearly all trips. Friends and relatives can only give you so many rides because they have their own employment and lives to maintain.

What about people like delivery men, commercial drivers and even construction?

AVOID NEW SUSPENSIONS

Many driving offense convictions involve the imposition of additional driver’s license suspensions, digging the hole a little further for the already suspended license. GET VALID NOW

With the help of Attorney Mark Babb many clients were able to clear their license and get a valid license. Many of these clients had no idea it was even possible to clear the suspension(s) on their license.
