Juvenile Assault Laws in Ann Arbor – Young Offender Defense Lawyer
Any offensive contact from one person towards another can lead to assault charges, be it physical assault, sexual assault, threats or other verbal assaults, putting a person in fear, or any other similar offense. According to Ann Arbor assault laws, any assault can lead to jail time and fines, even if charges arise out of a fight at school, gang involvement, or other issues commonly facing juveniles in Michigan. With up to a year behind bars and a significant fine on the line for even a first offense, it is crucial that you do all you can to fight back as police and prosecutions attempt to build a case against you.
Placement on the juvenile consent calendar can lead to a sentence focused more on rehabilitation than punishment, which often means less jail time and more alternative justice, which could include restitution or community service. Our attorneys view every juvenile crime case comprehensively, with both the defense process and the end result in mind during every stage. We will seek your best interests and pursue the most beneficial outcome, whatever that may mean for your individual case.

We are available by phone and through the online contact form on our website 24/7.
Criminal Penalties for Juvenile Assault in Ann Arbor, Michigan
If placed on the juvenile consent calendar, the offender will not actually be sentenced or have the offense added to their permanent record, but instead will have conditions set by the court which must be completed in order to avoid the penalties that could otherwise result. Similar to a deferred sentence in the adult court system, the juvenile consent calendar allows those under the age of 17 to avoid long-lasting repercussions stemming from an assault or battery offense.
If sentenced in a regular adult court, juvenile offenders can face up to a year behind bars and a $1,000 fine for a first simple assault offense, and much greater penalties for aggravated or other more severe assault convictions. In more serious cases or repeat offender cases, adult court sentencing is very possible, so it is essential to work with an attorney who knows how to protect you or your child from facing a move from the juvenile calendar. Grabel & Associates can protect you from harsh penalties and help you achieve a favorable case outcome.
