Florida law takes assault with a deadly weapon very seriously. If you are accused of threatening someone while using or displaying a firearm, knife, or any dangerous object, you could face years in prison and a permanent felony record. These charges are often aggressively prosecuted in Miami and Broward County.
Understanding the Stakes
Unlike simple assault, charges involving weapons are classified as aggravated offenses. This means prosecutors push for harsher penalties, often seeking mandatory prison terms. Even if the weapon wasn’t discharged, simply having it in your possession can increase the severity of the case.
