Assault Attorney In Yonkers & Manhattan

Are You Facing Assault Charges?

Don’t face assault charges alone. Assault is a serious crime in all states – so take your defense seriously. More than likely, the officers will question you about the circumstances of the situation to trap you into making an incriminating statement. In the stress that comes with an arrest, you might say something that the prosecutor could use against you in court. So, don’t say anything until you’ve spoken to an experienced criminal defense attorney. Our expert criminal defense team will spare no effort to track down every piece of evidence that might help your case, whether that be dismissal of the charges, a favorable verdict at trial, or, at least, a significant reduction in charges and sentencing. Don’t wait. Contact one of our compassionate criminal defense lawyers today.

What Are Simple Assault Charges?

In most states, a simple assault involves you causing bodily injury to someone or initiating extremely offensive physical contact with another person. However, in some states, if you make serious threats to do bodily injury to another person, that act can also trigger assault charges. In other states, that act is called a “criminal threat.” In most cases, simple assault is usually considered a misdemeanor. It can, though, trigger significant time behind bars. Our criminal attorneys have a broad range of experience defending our clients against such charges. We review every shred of evidence against you and aggressively cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses to dispute their statements or discredit their motive. Get experienced legal help to have the best chance of beating the charges. Get in touch with our team today!

What Is Aggravated Assault?

Aggravated assault occurs when a person uses a weapon during the incident or causes serious harm to the other party. In most states, aggravated assault is a felony and carries harsh penalties, including lengthy prison sentences. If you face aggravated assault charges, you need to get an experienced criminal law attorney involved at the very outset. With years of experience successfully defending our clients against aggravated assault, we’ll aggressively pursue all the evidence, all the witness statements, and the behavior of the investigating officers to determine if there are conflicting facts that could result in a dismissal of the charges or cause doubt in the jurors’ minds in the courtroom.
