on 9-13 my son was assualted by the neighborhood bully. on 9-14 the bully approached my son in the same threatening manner and my son assaulted the bully. my son is now charged with simple assualt-we believe it was self-defense. this is his first charge. is this a misdemeanor or felony? do we need a lawyer? can this charge be cleared when he is 18? can this be reduced or maybe dropped if we prove self-defense?
