Brooklyn and Manhattan Aggravated Assault Defense Attorneys
As a practical matter, there is no such thing as "dropping the charges" in New York. If you are arrested and charged with intentional or reckless assault, you will be prosecuted. The alleged victim - whether a family member or friend - can refuse to cooperate with the police investigation, but that does not mean the police will dismiss the case. In some jurisdictions, the prosecutor's office will dismiss assault charges if the complainant signs a release. This is rare.

Using a dangerous instrument or weapon during an aggravated assault can be as severe as a Class B felony, with a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. On the other end of the spectrum, an assault causing minimal bodily harm is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail.
