I have heard of aggravated assaults. But I'm not sure I fully understand what that means. What circumstances might make an assault more serious?

Hello! Aggravated assault is a serious criminal offense that involves an intentional act that causes or attempts to cause bodily harm to another person, often with a deadly weapon or other dangerous instrumentality. Aggravated assault may also involve an attempt to commit a violent crime, such as robbery or rape, and can result in severe physical injuries, permanent disability, or death.
If you are accused of committing this crime, or if this crime was committed against you, you should contact a federal attorney. He can represent you in court and help you protect your rights.
It seems to me that people who commit such crimes do not deserve lawyers and should be punished to the fullest extent.
Aggravating circumstances may include the use of a weapon, assaulting a pregnant woman, assaulting a young child, or assault committed with the assistance of others. In some jurisdictions, such circumstances may aggravate the crime and lead to stiffer penalties. If a person is caught in such a situation, he or she definitely needs a lawyer. Ottawa Criminal Lawyers is good in such situations. Otherwise, if the person does not seek help, he or she will face severe penalties.
