Living in Burlington County is a privilege that few can enjoy. However, this doesn’t exclude anyone from facing simple assault charges. Whether it happens in Medford, Riverton, Tabernacle, or Shamong, any physical contact made during a conflict can lead to an accusation of simple assault.
If you find yourself in this situation anywhere in Burlington County – Evesham, Florence, Pemberton or any other township – your course of action is to contact Todd Spodek’s defense team right away.

By working with us to fight your case, we will help you avoid criminal records and other penalties that come with a conviction as prescribed by N.J.S.A 2C:12-1.
N.J.S.A 2C:12-1 defines three ways that an individual could be found guilty of simple assault in any Burlington County court. The first situation is when someone intentionally or recklessly causes or attempts to cause bodily injury to another person. The second situation is when someone negligently causes bodily injury with a deadly weapon. And the third situation is putting someone in fear of significant physical harm by physically menacing them.
If convicted for any one of these three variations of conduct mentioned above; which constitutes simple assault charges, the offender gets charged with a disorderly persons violation,this bears legal consequences such as gaining criminal records as well as having to pay a fine up to $1,000 pittance fines.
Additionally they would be required to carry out community service and serve probation period and worse still the possibility of serving time in county jail maxing out at six months depending on the gravity of the offense. In more severe incidents where the victim may be a public employee such as police or any other official, it is considered a felony offense, and one would face aggravated assault charges.
It’s worth mentioning that simple assault is an act in the domestic-violence category. If the violation occurred on a spouse, co-parent, boyfriend/girlfriend, or anyone with whom you had a dating relationship or shared a household with; one might be subject to getting served with restraining orders.
