Assault Charges Defense Lawyer in Atlantic County, NJ

South Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney Defending Assault Charges In Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Mercer, Ocean, and Salem Counties.

In New Jersey, a single punch can quickly escalate into criminal charges. A victim’s broken nose allows for third-degree felony aggravated assault charges in New Jersey. Add in a weapon, and you could quickly find yourself charged with second-degree aggravated assault, which carries a five to ten-year sentencing range with a parole ineligibility period of 85% of the sentence. In addition, if the victim is of a specific background and is working in that capacity during the assault, such as a police officer, teacher, or EMS worker, even a simple punch without actual injury can be charged as a third-degree aggravated assault.
