Assault in Fort Lauderdale: Get the Justice You Deserve

Law enforcement bodies in Fort Lauderdale consider assault a serious crime. However, if you have been arrested on assault charges, understand that you have rights. Regardless if you or someone close to you has been arrested for assault, learn below how to secure your freedom within the confines of Florida law.

Understand What Constitutes an Assault Charge in Fort Lauderdale

Assault in Florida is considered “an unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.” Note that the crime does not reflect physical contact that occurs between a perpetrator and victim.

Recognize that the prosecutor in Broward County bears the burden of proving that the defendant intentionally sought to threaten the victim, make the victim feel fear, or commit a violent act. Further, the prosecutor also must prove that the defendant exhibited a threat through a gesture, words, or an intimidating act. Under Florida law, there are three classifications of assault: (1) simple assault; (2) aggravated assault; and (3) felony assault.
