If you've been arrested for assault, you know what a traumatic time you are
going through. The criminal justice system can be terrifying and overwhelming
when you are a defendant caught up in the system. An experienced defense lawyer

peace of mind that there is someone on your side to protect and help you through

severe penalties and consequences if not handled properly. A prompt
and vigorous defense strategy can often significantly reduce or eliminate the
risk of serious criminal penalties and sentences.

Aggravated Assault is a serious charge usually involving serious
bodily injury on purpose, and/or with indifference to human life, or using a
deadly/dangerous weapon with intent to cause bodily harm. A deadly weapon could
be a gun, knife, or other dangerous object, or even a car or other vehicle.
Aggravated assault is also charged in cases of setting a fire or explosion which
causes bodily injury.
Simple Assault is a charge that falls in the category of knowingly or
negligently causing bodily harm, or putting a person in fear of bodily harm. It
is the least serious assault offenses, and is usually charged in cases of fights
or minor injuries. which as a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and/or a $1000
fine.
Also see my Domestic Violence page for
cases involving Domestic Assault.

Degree Crime, with a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in state prison.
Simple Assault is considered a disorderly persons offense,
which has a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and/or a $1000 fine.
Assault Defense Strategies
My defense strategies for Aggravated Assault may include trying to get
the charges reduced to simple assault, or filing motions to dismiss the case or suppress
the evidence against you if there are appropriate legal or constitutional
grounds to do so. These cases can be complicated, so much depends on the
specific facts of your case.
When I defend clients facing a Simple Assault charge, I
usually am able to resolve the case in the clients favor, often with a
dismissal in many cases.
