Assault Attorney & Lawyer in Englewood, Northern New Jersey

Over 15 Years of Criminal Defense Experience in Bergen County, Englewood & Hackensack, New Jersey

In the United states, there are many categories of assault, from simple assault to aggravated assault. Assault is not only defined as "an immediate show of force against another person following a threat of violence", but also as "any physical contact with another person without their permission" (which may or may not be considered asexual assault, depending on the type of physical contact).

If you (or someone you know) has been charged with misdemeanor assault or felony assault in Bergen County, Englewood or Hackensack, NJ, you and your case will soon enter the confusing and impersonal criminal justice system.
