Salt Lake City Assault with a Deadly Weapon Lawyer

Utah Felony Assault Defense Attorney

Assault with a deadly weapon is a crime with a broad definition. Almost anything may be considered a deadly weapon. A deadly weapon is any object that might kill someone:

  • A gun
  • A utility knife
  • A box cutter
  • An army knife
  • A sword
  • A broken broomstick
  • A tire iron

Use of a weapon or deadly instrument directed at someone may result in this criminal charge, regardless of whether an alleged victim was actually injured. Thus, there is a great deal of room for misunderstandings, exaggerated accusations, trumped-up charges — and mistakes.

Whether the person involved in your case was hurt or killed or could have been hurt or killed by the deadly weapon in your possession, you are strongly encouraged to take your criminal charges very seriously.

  • Complications in other areas of life such as military service, adoption of a child from abroad, driving privileges (if the car was the deadly weapon), hunting privileges, international travel and more.
