Assault Lawyer Serving North Brunswick
Assault charges in North Brunswick are governed by N.J.S.A.
2C:12-1, and where your case is heard depends on how the offense is graded. Simple assault is typically a disorderly persons matter resolved at the North Brunswick Municipal Court on Hermann Road, while aggravated assault is an indictable charge handled in the Middlesex County Superior Court. These cases often arise from fast-moving confrontations where accounts conflict and emotions ran high, and the difference between the two grades can hinge on alleged injury, intent, or the circumstances involved. Goldman Law Firm takes the time to understand what actually happened, gathers witness accounts and any available video, and tests the strength of the State's version of events. We make sure the court hears the full context, not just the allegation. Whether your case stays in municipal court or moves up to the county level, we defend it with the seriousness a charge under 2C:12-1 demands.
