Assault and Battery Charges
An assault can occur even if no physical contact has occurred. Even the threat of physical violence can bring about assault charges, while battery charges require actual physical contact. Likewise, domestic assault charges can be brought against a person even if no physical contact was made. If physical contact does occur, the severity of the charges may increase, as is also the case if a weapon is involved or the victim of the assault suffers bodily harm or malicious wounding.
For first offenders who are arrested on domestic violence charges, a diversion program may be available to avoid lasting criminal penalties. If this program, which includes among other things going to anger management classes, is completed successfully, the charge can be dismissed. When applicable, our firm can help you apply for this program in order to protect your livelihood and your future.
