Navigating Assault and Battery Charges in Long Island
Facing assault and battery charges can be a distressing experience, often stemming from a physical altercation that escalated beyond control. Recognized as a violent crime, the implications of such charges are far-reaching, potentially affecting your freedom, employment, and living situation. More than just a legal challenge, these cases often arise from heightened emotions, pushing individuals to a breaking point where violence feels like the only recourse.
Self-Defense or Aggressor: Understanding Your Position
It’s not uncommon to find yourself facing charges even when you believe you were defending yourself.

Regardless of your stance, securing a robust defense is essential to mitigate the consequences of a potential conviction. At Russo & Pedranghelu, we specialize in crafting defenses that protect your interests, aiming to reduce or completely dismiss the charges against you.
