Assault, Simple Battery and Aggravated Battery Defense
There are several different levels of assault and battery, ranging from ordinance violations where you would only have to pay a fine to felonies which could lead to jail or even prison time. Here are some of the most common offenses, ranging from the least to the most serious.
- Disorderly conduct
- Simple battery (when no one is seriously injured)
- Reckless endangering safety
- Aggravated or substantial battery (when someone suffers serious injury)
- Child abuse and child neglect
If you have been charged with assault or battery, call attorney Craig Kuhary right away. I will immediately begin working on your behalf, gathering and reviewing police reports and obtaining a pretrial offer from the prosecutor. At that time, I can advise you on whether you should have me try the case or accept a plea arrangement. You should never plead guilty in a battery case, since a guilty plea can be used against you in a civil action. Even if you are guilty, I could enter a plea of no contest, which could not be used against you in a civil action.
