Under New Jersey law, aggravated assault can be charged under a variety of circumstances. If you are accused of attempting to cause serious bodily injury, you can be charged with aggravated assault. Aggravated assault can be charged whether or not you had a gun or other weapon. Depending on the circumstances, aggravated assault can be a fourth, third or second degree offense. If you have been charged with aggravated assault, you need a dedicated lawyer to protect your rights.
At Maynard & Sumner, LLC, our criminal defense attorneys work aggressively to protect the rights of our clients. We begin every case with a detailed investigation into all verifiable facts of the case. We never take a police report at face value or assume that complaining witnesses are telling the absolute truth. When our clients' aggravated assault charges resulted from a fight or a domestic violence situation, there is the possibility that the accusations are exaggerated or even fabricated.
The earlier we are retained in an aggravated assault case, the more readily we will be able to gather critical evidence. When we present facts that can credibly dispute the police report or witness statements against you, we may be able to convince the state to dismiss or reduce your charges.
No criminal defense lawyer can predict with certainty what the outcome of a criminal case will be. There are too many variables that may apply. What we can assure our clients is that we have the experience, the legal knowledge and the persistence necessary to challenge criminal charges that do not add up. When all verifiable evidence is taken into account, our goal is to be ready to put forth the strongest possible defense of these accusations.
