Assault Lawyer Serving Carteret
An assault charge in New Jersey falls under N.J.S.A.
2C:12-1, and where your case is heard depends on how it is graded. Simple assault is typically a disorderly persons offense handled in Carteret Municipal Court at 230 Roosevelt Avenue, while aggravated assault is an indictable offense that moves to Superior Court and carries far heavier exposure. These charges often grow out of a single heated moment — a fight, a family dispute, an incident outside a bar or business in the borough — and the account the State relies on does not always tell the whole story. Context, self-defense, and exactly who did what can change everything about the case. We work through the evidence carefully: witness statements, any video, injury records, and the surrounding circumstances that may explain or justify what happened. Goldman Law Firm defends simple and aggravated assault charges arising in Carteret. Call us before you talk to anyone about the incident, so we can protect your side of the story from the start.
