Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

I am curious in a domestic disbute should violence arrise who has the leagal right to press charges for any possible crime committed or attempted in this situation. Imagine 2 people one is told to leave and refuses to. As time goes by things get worse and the party asking the other to leave begins to fear violence so try's to beat them to the punch and threatens violence back. The police become involved and the threatened party doesn't seem to press charges. Are there any other parties that could press chrges in this situtation.

Yes. This sounds like there is some real risk of harm here.

Call me, I would like to help you to get the legal process going. That person needs protection.

Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the first office visit.

I know people worry about how expensive a lawyer is, so I am careful to be as inexpensive as I can for my clients. Before you spend a dime, you will know how much this is likely to be.
