These different levels of charge can impact your finance, future, and freedom in different ways when convicted of them in the City of Miami or Miami-Dade County. Misdemeanor assault charges will generally carry a jail sentence of up to one year in the Miami Dade County jail, whereas felony assault charges will carry a jail sentence of many years in prison in one of the State of Florida prisons. Both also include opportunities to be fined, with the felony being similarly at a higher level.

You could have difficulty finding housing, difficulty in child custody hearings, and difficulty in keeping or obtaining a job.
