Re: 4th Degree assault
You should retain the best criminal defense lawyer you can, as soon as possible.
Felony assault is a serious crime, with huge, negative implications on your civil rights and your future employment and annual income levels.
While it sounds like you may assert a "self-defense" defense, you and your lawyer will need to consider the "duty to retreat" and seek witnesses and evidence to support the self-defense claim.
You may contact me to discuss this, if you wish.
