Bergen County Assault & Threats Lawyers

What started out as just a fun night on the town in Bergen County can quickly turn into a nightmare if you or a loved one finds themselves involved in fight or argument with another individual. The consequences for someone charged with assault can range drastically depending on what part of the statute you have been charged with. The governing statute for assault in New Jersey is N.J.S.A. 2C:12 and as you will see below, the applicable penalties for one convicted of either assault or aggravated assault can range from 0-10 years in a New Jersey State Prison. In addition, some assault charges fall under what is known as the No Early Release Act (NERA). NERA requires a Defendant convicted of any one of their enumerated crimes to serve at least 85% of their sentence before they can become eligible for parole. As you can see, NERA can turn an already horrible situation into an absolute nightmare.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, most assaultive offenses can also be one the foundational criminal charges that form the basis for both temporary and final restraining order.
