Assault Charges in New York

Assault is defined as an intentional act that causes another person to reasonably fear imminent physical injury. This can include threatening to cause harm to a person, threatening to use force against a person, or recklessly placing another person in a situation that causes them to fear for their safety.

Assault charges in New York can be classified as either:

• A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000
• A felony, punishable by up to four years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000

There are several factors that can affect the severity of an assault charge and the penalties associated with it. For example, the use of a weapon during the assault can increase the charge from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Our Nassau County assault and battery attorney can help you fight your charges and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.

Battery Charges in New York

Battery is defined as the intentional use of force or violence against another person. This can include hitting, punching, kicking, biting, or using an object to harm another person.
