The penalties for these offenses are serious—ranging from up to 3 months in jail for the most minor assault charge to several years in prison for more severe offenses. In addition to jail or prison, you may face substantial fines and probation of up to 2 years for misdemeanors and up to 5 years for felony offenses.
