Assault & Vehicular Assault

New York City Assault and Vehicular Assault Defense Lawyers

In recent years, the New York State Legislature has increased the penalties for violent crimes, such as assault. The new laws also allow prosecutors to more easily file charges of vehicular assault or vehicular homicide in alcohol-related accidents resulting in personal injury or death. If you have been charged with an assault crime, you should contact us as soon as possible.

At Mangialardi & Berardino in Hartsdale, New York, we are former prosecutors, turned criminal defense attorneys, who know how prosecutors analyze and pursue assault cases. As such, our experience allows us to counter the prosecutors' arguments and create an effective defense. We are experienced in handling all types of assault cases, including:

• Reckless assault
• Simple assault
• Assault with a deadly weapon
• Vehicular assault
• Vehicular homicide and vehicular manslaughter.

The level of an assault charge, and the potential penalty you face, depends upon whether the victim sustained a serious physical injury and whether a weapon was used. As with most crimes, you may also be charged with assault by "acting in concert." This means that you may not have assaulted anyone, but you were part of a group that did.

If you have been charged with vehicular assault, or any other assault charge in the New York City area, contact Mangialardi & Berardino, as soon as possible at 914-686-1041 or 212-983-5677. We believe in defending your rights and your freedom.
