Northern New Jersey Lawyer for Your Assault Defense
If you have been charged with assault, the outcome of your case may well depend on your choice of a qualified criminal defense lawyer. Assault is a broad legal category used to describe a wide range of offenses, from a fistfight or household argument to the use of a deadly weapon.
Simple Assault — Aggravated Assault — Domestic Violence Charges
Whether you are facing a simple assault charge or a serious second-degree crime of aggravated assault, I encourage you to contact me now for a free consultation. I will take the time to hear your full story and understand your perspective, in order to provide aggressive defense that might make a tremendous difference for your future.
Aggressive Pursuit of Your Acquittal or a Reduced Charge
No one wants an assault charge on his or her criminal record. If you are facing an aggravated assault charge, that can mean up to 10 years in prison. I will pursue all legal means of obtaining a dismissal, acquittal or plea to a reduced charge, depending on your needs and personal circumstances.
I have the experience and legal knowledge to represent you in Municipal Court or Superior Court. Understanding that any assault case may be complex, I am committed to investigating and proving what happened and why. You can depend on thorough investigation and tenacious pursuit of your best interests in your case arising from:
- A fight with another person, resulting in relatively minor injuries
- A domestic dispute with a spouse or other family member, sometimes resulting in other legal problems involving restraining orders
- Your alleged use of a weapon such as a gun or knife
- An altercation with a police officer, such as an attempt to arrest you that escalated into physical contact
