Assault Lawyer Serving Cranbury
An assault charge in Cranbury Township can arise from a single heated moment, a misunderstanding, or a dispute that escalated, and the consequences are serious no matter how it started.
New Jersey prosecutes assault under N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1, which separates simple assault from aggravated assault. Simple assault is generally a disorderly persons matter, and because Cranbury operates without its own municipal court, those cases are heard at the Plainsboro Township Municipal Court at 641 Plainsboro Road, Plainsboro, NJ 08536, under a shared-services agreement. Aggravated assault is an indictable offense handled at the Superior Court in New Brunswick. The line between the two can hinge on injury, intent, and the surrounding circumstances, which is exactly where a careful defense makes the difference. At Goldman Law Firm, we look closely at what actually happened, including questions of self-defense, the credibility of the accounts, and the strength of the evidence.
