A physical moment that got out of hand, now assault in the third degree in a Westchester city court. Here's what the charge is, how these courts tend to handle it, and the step you control.
Assault in the third degree (Penal Law § 120.00) is a class A misdemeanor — New York's common “simple assault” — alleging physical injury to another. It's handled in your Westchester city or justice court and carries possible jail, fine, and a record, though many first-offense matters resolve through dismissal, reduction, or an ACD. The weeks-to-months runway is your opportunity.
Voluntary enrollment before you're ordered — see the proactive guide — plus no contact with the complainant and exact compliance with any order of protection is the file that resolves well. A live remote program gives your attorney a same-day letter, progress reports, and completion documentation formatted for your Westchester court. If an ACD is possible, see ACD in Westchester.
