Felonious Assault Lawyers in Michigan
Felonious Assault
Our Felonious Assault Attorneys Can Help You
Felonious assault, also called assault with a dangerous weapon, occurs when you assault another person with a gun, knife, brass knuckles, or some other weapon that has the potential of causing serious physical injury or death. Assault means that you put another person in immediate fear of harm. Therefore, simply pointing a knife at someone in a manner that makes them think that they may be stabbed satisfies the definition of a felonious assault.
This is a serious charge, and you should speak with an attorney immediately.
Proving Felonious Assault
Remember, the prosecutor must prove each and every element of felonious assault beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain a conviction.
There are four elements to felonious assault that the prosecutor must prove:
- You must have either attempted to commit a battery or did something that would cause a reasonable person to fear an immediate battery.
- You intended to either injure another person or make another person fear that you were going to.
- You had the ability to commit a battery, you appeared to have the ability to commit a battery, or you thought you had the ability to commit a battery.
- You committed the assault while using a dangerous weapon.
Felonious Assault Penalties
If convicted of felonious assault, you will be facing:
- A four-year felony
- Fines up to $6,000
- Up to 150 hours of community service

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’;s knowledge in the future.
