Unless he's an ex-felon a good attorney should be able to get him probation. Otherwise it is 1-6 years in prison.

Re: assault with a deadly weapon

Thank you for your inquiry.

Your husband's charges are felonies and would carry a potential jail term of at least 12 months (1 year) in jail.

If your husband did not injure anyone then the assault with a deadly weapon charge could probably be amended down. If your husband has a criminal record involving other violent or gun related crimes his ability to effectively plea bargain would be limited.

I would need to know a little more about your case to properly advise you. My office handles all felony and misdemeanor matters; contact my office for a free consultation.
