Assault Defense Team

When you have been accused of or charged with a serious criminal offense such as assault and battery, it is vital to defend your rights by contacting and retaining the services of a criminal defense lawyer. There are a number of circumstances that can lead to this type of violence, from bar fights and arguments to defending your property or yourself.

Although the words battery and assault are often confused or used together, it is important to know the difference. Assault refers to acts which use physical violence as a threat. Battery is actually harming someone physically.
