In Maryland, second degree assault is a misdemeanor, unless it is against a law enforcement officer or a parole agent, in which case it is a second degree felony. Assuming no previous record, the minimum sentence is 1 year of probation.
"Assault in the second degree" covers all forms of assault and/or battery that are not covered by Assault in the first degree.
Assault in the first degree covers intentionally causing or trying to cause serious bodily injury to another person, and any assault committed with a firearm of any kind.
Assault in the second degree is everything that is left over. It also covers the more serious offense of trying to cause any physical injury to a law enforcement officer if the defendant knew that person is one.

Castulo J. Rivas, Jr. was convicted of 2nd degree assault and 1st degree arson and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He also received a 30 year sentence for assault and/or battery with a dangerous weapon and 20 years for carrying weapon/drugs/alcohol into jail.

Not including "class D Violent felonies", they include Attempted manslaughter in the 2nd degree, attempted vehicular manslaughter in the 2nd degree, vehicular assault in the 1st degree, reckless endangerment in the 1st degree, attempted rape in the 2nd degree, sodomy in the 2nd degree, and promoting a sexual performance by a child.

The burden is on the perpetrator, NOT the victim.
2nd Degree Assault is more serious than Simple or 3rd Degree Assault, but not as serious as Aggravated or 1st Degree Assault. This basically means that serious bodily harm had been directly or indirectly inflicted on one person by another. Serious bodily harm would probably be classified as broken bones, dislocations, lacerations/incisions, damaged ligaments, concussions, or anything else that would have a moderate to severe impact on a person's ability to live a normal life.
My friend was charged with Assault in the 2nd Degree in New York City. The defence lawyer wants to charge a fee of $10,000.00 dollars Is this fee too high?
Most Second Degree Assault charges carry a mandatory sentence of five years with a maximum of eight years in prison. That's if the defendant is charged as an adult. And even though you are considered to be a juvenile in most states, you still may be charged as an adult. But the law is not arbitrary- the circumstances of the charge weigh greatly on the final ruling. Find an attourney; they will be able to advise you on your situation.
