Woodbridge Assault & Battery Attorneys
Aggressive Criminal Defense Representation
Whether you have been accused of assault during a bar fight, an alleged domestic assault occurred after an argument, or anything in between, our team at Palmisano & Goodman, P.A. can help you fight the charges you are facing. Our Woodbridge criminal defense lawyers are committed to standing up for the rights of clients who are facing criminal charges. Assault and battery cases are considered types of violent crimes and as such, are not looked upon very favorably by the courts.
We work hard to see that all evidence is presented on your behalf and that the judge and jury are able to see the real situation that resulted in the allegations of assault. Our team can also work with the prosecution to secure a plea agreement if it is in your best interests, or case dismissal if possible. Your future is at risk if you sit by and do nothing about assault and battery charges.
Assault & Battery Charges & Their Consequences
Assault and/or battery charges need to be addressed immediately. These types of charges may stay on your criminal record forever and impact your life in a negative way, such as affecting your ability to get a job. The severity of the victim's injuries that resulted from an assault or battery may have a direct effect on the types of penalties an individual may be facing if arrested on these types of charges.
We handle all types of assault and battery matters, including:
- Sexual assault
- Simple battery
- Simple assault
- Battery with injury
- Battery or assault on a police officer
- Aggravated assault charges
- Domestic violence
The punishments for a conviction on an assault or battery charge depend on the level of offense and if it is considered a felony or misdemeanor. They also can depend on any previous convictions. You can be facing anger management classes, monetary fines, jail and a permanent criminal record, or lifetime registration as a sex offender (if the assault was sexual in nature).
Assault With a Deadly Weapon Charges
When an assault allegedly occurs and a deadly weapon was allegedly used in the commission of the crime, the consequences for a conviction on this type of charge may be increased. Our aggressive Woodbridge assault defense lawyers can assist you in understanding how the mere presence of a weapon during the assault may impact the case and what types of punishments are attached to a conviction in this situation.

“Everyone at the firm was kind, responsive, extremely competent, and expertly guided me every step of the way.”
We chose to contact Palmisano & Goodman after my accident because of their reputation for being extremely competent AND ethical. Everyone at the firm was kind, responsive, extremely competent, and expertly guided me every step of the way. I never had to call for an update on my case as Bob Goodman routinely called to keep me advised and to check on my medical progress. At times when I was overwhelmed by everything, Bob Goodman took the time to calm me down and reassure me. He is professional and compassionate and obviously cares about his client's well-being. He always told me what to expect and made me feel protected and expertly represented. We eventually settled at mediation and I’m profoundly grateful to everyone at Palmisano & Goodman. If you need an attorney, do not hesitate to contact them.- Mary W. -

It has been a privilege working with Greg Goodman over the last 3.5 years where he represented me in a very difficult & complex personal injury case. He and his team dedicated a great deal of time, over a three and a half year period, to me and my needs as a client. Greg and his team have always been there for my support and any questions throughout the challenging time. Greg is very experienced and knowledgeable in the field of personal injuries which helped me understand my concerns and needs better. I always received proper consulting and my best interest was taken in consideration at all times. It is never an easy time to go through injuries but Greg and his professional team help make this a comfortable journey in the toughest of times. I am very grateful and extremely satisfied with all the hard work that Greg and his team put into my case. I would recommend Greg Goodman and the Palmisano & Goodman Law Firm to the highest degree for your legal needs & representation as their priority lies within their clients.- Esha -

“I assure you that you will have a pleasant experience as everyone in this office are nothing less than kind and helpful.”
After suffering from an injury to my shoulder due to an unfortunate car accident, I decided to go to the office and speak with Mr. Goodman. Right from the beginning, I noticed how kind and welcoming the secretaries were which automatically left a great first impression. Mr. Goodman was always very honest and wanted nothing more than for me to make a speedy recovery. I was pleased to know that my lawyer cared not only about my case, but my well-being, too. It is evident that Mr. Goodman is extremely knowledgable and makes an effort to fully discuss the pros and cons of every aspect of the case. In my situation, a settlement was made less than a year after I first stepped into Mr. Goodman's office and I can definitely say I am pleased with the outcome. Because this law firm has successfully helped me reach a satisfying settlement, I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone. I assure you that you will have a pleasant experience as everyone in this office are nothing less than kind and helpful.- Emily S.
