what to expect
I was involved with a fight with my wife. She hit me several times and i
ended up hitting her back and was arrested. I just recieved my papers and it says im being charged with simple assualt and criminal mischief. Are these serious and what kind of sentence should I expect? I have no criminal record. |

Re: what to expect
Make sure you get legal counsel (or at least the public defender) to try to keep this off your record eventually--jail time is not likely if your record is clear now. But having that arrest and/or a conviction on your record could make job-hunting etc. more difficult. Often this could be negotiated down to some kind of court supervision or even be dismissed etc.
