NJ Attorney for Assault, Terroristic threats, Reckless Endangerment
It may have been a misunderstanding, an angry comment, a careless statement, or a maliciously fabricated charge. But, if you have been accused of making terroristic threats in New Jersey you may face serious consequences. Simple assault charges escalate quickly to aggravated assault if the dispute involved a New Jersey police officer, the use of a weapon, or serious bodily injury. Depending on the degree of offense you are charged with, you may face prison, jail time, probation, or a restraining order.
Before making any statement to police, contact a lawyer
You can only harm your case by talking to police, prosecutors, your accuser, or anyone other than your New Jersey criminal defense lawyer.

Marshall, contact our NJ law office and arrange a free consultation with one of our experienced criminal defense lawyers. We represent individuals charged or arrested for these offenses statewide, including Monmouth County, Union County, Somerset County, Middlesex County, Mercer County, Essex County, and Hudson County.
