What is Assault and Battery?

Assault and battery is a combination of two crimes. Assault consists of the threat of violence to a person. Battery consists of actual violence done. Examples of this might occur in bar fights, domestic disputes, sexual assaults, or fights between spectators at sporting events, concerts, or other social events.  If the use of a weapon is added into this scenario, it can make this crime even more severe and could bring about a harsh punishment.

Prosecutors generally pursue individuals charged with assault crimes aggressively in an effort to send them to prison. That is why it is crucial for someone charged with assault to have the services of a criminal defense attorney who has experience defending people charged with this crime. You can trust Mr.
Miller to work aggressively to prevent unfair punishments and to keep damages to a minimum. If you are convicted of assault, battery, or both, your conviction can have serious life consequences. A conviction can make it difficult to rent an apartment, find employment, get insurance for a car, or own a gun.
