One example of Attempted Assault is if you take a shot at some one and miss it is attempted assault. Or if you come at some one with a club, but you hit him with a glancing blow so he is not injured, it is Attempted Assault.

Attempted assault means you tried to commit an assault but did not complete the act. This is less serious than a completed assault with injuries. I would be happy to discuss this further so call my office @ 7188340087 for a consultation.

An assault is essentially the improper touching of another, generally injurious in intent... It could range from a missed punch to an attempted shooting that is not completed. In order to be chargeable there has to be some action toward the goal of the completion of the assault, and the action has to bring one close to actually completing the assault.

Our office handles many such cases regularly, and have former prosecutors and investigators on staff...

If interested in hiring representation to assist your relative contact us to discuss this case. Yu may reach us at 212-405-2234.
