Assault Charges

An assault is an action where you cause physical injury to another person. 

Assault cases involving weapons are more serious crimes which are usually charged as felonies.  Assault may be charged in different degrees, depending on how seriously the victim was harmed, i.e. 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd degree assault.  Simple assault charges may be enhanced when great bodily harm has occurred, when a weapon is used, or when the offense is against a police officer or someone very vulnerable.  With the skilled assistance of a New York criminal defense lawyer at our firm, it may be possible in some cases to get assault charges reduced or dropped entirely.
