You Need an Aggressive Defense To Fight Serious Charges
The blanket charges of assault and battery cover a wide range of offenses, from threats of violence to harming someone with a dangerous weapon. If you are charged with assault and battery, you are looking at criminal penalties and possible civil actions. A conviction can affect your life for years, impacting your relationship with your family, your ability to get a job, the time you spend with your children and more.

How I Can Help You
You want and need an experienced attorney on your side when you are facing assault and battery charges. Types of assault and battery I often handle include:
- Domestic and family disputes
- School fights and juvenile crime
- Bar and street fights
I can defend you against charges of assault and battery as well as assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (aggravated battery). Charges of aggravated battery are commonly prosecuted as felonies, which means the consequences of a conviction are more severe and may include very restrictive probation conditions or even prison time.
To fight the prosecution's case against you, I will closely examine the evidence and police procedures, making sure that your constitutional rights were not violated along the way. If so, then I will take quick action to have any unconstitutionally gathered evidence (be it medical reports, witness statements or anything in between) deemed inadmissible. In addition, I will investigate:
- The reliability of the accuser and any witnesses
- If you acted in self-defense
- If it is a case of mistaken identity
