Assault and Battery Attorneys

A battery is the harmful or offensive touching of another person, and an assault is an attempt to commit a battery, intending to cause physical injury. Assaults and batteries can be charged as misdemeanor or felony offenses, depending upon the particulars of the offense. These are very serious offenses that can lead to significant fines, community services, and jail or prison time.
