What Are Simple Assault Charges?

In Florida, assault can include more than just physical harm. A charge may arise from intentionally threatening another person with violence—even if no contact actually occurs. While some states refer to this as a “criminal threat,” Florida law treats certain threats and aggressive behavior as grounds for assault charges. What might seem like a minor encounter can quickly escalate into a criminal case.


Simple assault is typically classified as a misdemeanor, but don’t let that fool you—it can still carry serious consequences, including jail time, probation, and a permanent criminal record.

As a sole practitioner focused on criminal defense in Tampa, Marc personally reviews the facts, challenges weak or misleading evidence, and cross-examines the prosecution’s witnesses to expose inconsistencies or questionable motives. His goal is to protect your rights and pursue the best possible result—whether that means reduced charges, dismissal, or acquittal at trial.

What Is Aggravated Assault?

Under Florida law, aggravated assault involves the use of a deadly weapon or the intent to cause serious bodily harm. It’s classified as a felony offense and carries severe consequences—often including years in prison, large fines, and a lasting criminal record. These charges can alter the course of your life, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.


If you're facing aggravated assault charges, it's crucial to involve a skilled criminal defense attorney as early as possible. Based in Tampa, Marc A. Joseph, P.A. has spent years defending individuals against serious criminal allegations, including aggravated assault.
