Assault

Morristown Assault Defense Lawyer

Facing Assault Charges?

An assault offense is a criminal charge that is often misunderstood and misrepresented by the media. Many people think that an assault is a violent crime, but that is not always the case. There are three categories of assault: simple assault, aggravated assault, and sexual assault. A Morristown assault lawyer from the Law Offices of Joseph S. Scura can help you fight your charges if you have been charged with an assault offense.

What Is Assault?

Assault offenses are criminal charges that involve threatening or attempting to cause physical harm to another person.

An assault can be charged as:

  • Simple assault. This is the least serious assault charge and involves the least amount of harm to the victim. A simple assault charge can be brought against you if you threaten to cause physical harm to another person or attempt to cause physical harm to another person with no weapon involved.
  • Aggravated assault. This type of assault involves the use of a deadly weapon, serious harm to the victim, or an assault against a minor or elderly person. A Morristown aggravated assault lawyer can help you fight your charges.
  • Sexual assault. This type of assault is a more serious offense that involves the sexual violation of another person.

If you are convicted of an assault offense, you could face serious penalties, including imprisonment, fines, or a combination of the two. You could also be required to pay restitution to the victim for any medical bills or other damages you caused.

How Can a Morristown Assault Attorney Help Me?

Because assault offenses are often misunderstood, you may be charged with an assault offense even when you did not intend to physically harm the other person. You may have been involved in a verbal confrontation that escalated to a physical confrontation without your intention. Sometimes, a person may be charged with assault when they were acting in self-defense.
