What Is Attempted Assault In NY?

When it comes to assault in the third degree, the two elements must exist: (1) you intended to inflict physical harm, and (2) you caused physical injury or “substantial pain” to another person. If the second element is not fulfilled, the offense must be prosecuted as a lesser crime, such as attempted assault in the third degree.

You can be charged with attempted assault in the third degree if you had the intent to commit the offense and you engaged in actions or behavior that would impact the commission of the crime. For example, swinging at someone but missing would be attempted assault in the third degree.

Additionally, it is considered attempted assault if you hit someone once or several times, but the other person doesn’t suffer physical injury. Therefore, if you were trying to cause such injury, but failed to do so, you still could be charged with attempted assault in the third degree.

Facing assault or attempted assault charges in NY can be daunting. The penalties for assault or attempted assault in the third-degree charges can have a significant impact on a person’s life.

What Are The Penalties For Attempted Third-Degree Assault?

Attempted assault in the third degree is a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a maximum jail term of 90 days and a fine of up to $500. As we mentioned earlier, a conviction also results in a criminal record, which can negatively affect your personal life and professional reputation.

If the alleged victim has an intimate relationship with the defendant or there is a degree of consanguinity between the defendant and the alleged victim, additional charges for domestic violence can also be applied. Charges for attempted assault related to domestic violence cannot be easily dropped even when the alleged victim recants their statement. and may require additional legal assistance.

Facing a charge of attempted assault in the third degree or other New York assault charges can be very daunting. Being charged can lead to serious consequences including losing your freedom. At Lebedin Kofman LLP, we understand how crucial it is to have a legal representative whom you can trust.

I contacted this firm after spending nearly a year worrying about the consequences of answering a bench warrant.

I appeared in court with an attorney from the firm who guided me every step of the way. I only wish I would I have contacted Lebedin Kofman earlier instead of letting fear of the justice system get the best of me. Thank you Lebedin Kofman for helping me get back on the right track, I would highly recommend this firm.

Attempted third-degree assault cases can still create a criminal record, order-of-protection issues, employment problems, immigration concerns, and family or school consequences. Lebedin Kofman LLP reviews intent, injury claims, witness statements, self-defense, video, and whether the prosecution can prove an actual attempt to commit assault.

Defense issues that should be reviewed early

Whether the accusation is legally sufficient under the charged Penal Law section and whether each required element can be proven.

Whether police violated search, seizure, questioning, identification, discovery, or evidence-preservation rules.

How the charge may affect jail exposure, probation, immigration, employment, professional licensing, school, travel, orders of protection, and future background checks.
