Charged With Assault in Morris County, NJ?
Assault laws exist to protect individuals from the possibility of physical violence. Because abusive and threatening behavior tends to escalate very easily into physical violence, law enforcement officers take assault accusations very seriously. It is sometimes the case that innocent individuals get charged with assault if only to ensure that no further aggression can possibly take place. No matter what the circumstances behind your charges may be, a skilled attorney can protect you from unfair treatment and defend you against unfounded charges.
