Assault Law in New York State

Assault convictions in New York can range from a misdemeanor up to a felony conviction. The alleged victim needs to be physically injured from the assault before a conviction can be imposed upon the defendant. If there was a lack of any physical injury or you can prove that the assault was carried out in an act of self-defense, your defense attorney may use those factors to argue your case.

If you are found guilty of a misdemeanor, such as assault in the third degree, you may have to pay a fine of up to $1,000 and serve up to one year in prison. A felony assault charge carries a minimum of a three-year prison sentence and can range up to 25 years. If you are found guilty of assaulting a police officer, you could get up to 30 years in prison.
