Assault & battery charges in New York can escalate fast—especially when there’s an injury, a misunderstanding, or a history between the people involved.
Whether it’s a bar fight, a domestic dispute, or a situation that got out of control, prosecutors won’t hesitate to file charges. If you’ve been arrested or accused in Deer Park or anywhere in Suffolk County, now is the time to build your defense.
We represent people across Deer Park, Wyandanch, Brentwood, and nearby communities who are facing assault, battery, or related violent crime charges. You deserve a defense that takes your side seriously and works hard to keep your future intact.
Types of Assault Charges We Handle
- Simple assault (physical threats or minor injuries)
- Aggravated assault (serious injuries or use of weapons)
- Assault on a family member or domestic partner
- Bar fights or public altercations
- Self-defense claims
- Assault on a police officer or public official
- Youth or school-related incidents
- Assault in connection with other charges (e.g., robbery or DWI)
New York law classifies assault charges based on intent, injury, and circumstances—so even a minor altercation can turn into a felony depending on the details.
Possible Consequences of Assault Charges
- Jail or prison time
- Fines and court fees
- Permanent criminal record
- Loss of job opportunities or licenses
- Immigration or custody issues
- Restraining orders or orders of protection
These cases often come down to one person’s word against another’s. We’ll gather witnesses, challenge assumptions, and fight to protect your freedom.
How We Defend Assault Accusations
- Investigate what really happened
- Push for reduced or dismissed charges
- Argue self-defense or defense of others
- Challenge the credibility of the accuser
- Negotiate favorable plea deals when appropriate
- Represent you in trial, if needed
We understand that sometimes, people are charged simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time—or for defending themselves when no one else would.
