From zero to three years or more, depending upon the charges actually filed and his plea bargain with the DA or the sentencing by the judge if he is convicted at trial. Ask his attorney or the DA.

It depends on how seriously, if at all, you were injured and what his record is. If he has felonies or other violence it will be w orse than dui's.? If you had stitches it will be worse than bruises.

Depends on the facts, the DA and the Judge. If this a misdemeanor then the sentence range could be from 30 to 60 days in jail but you would probably be eligible for a weekender work program.
