Battery occurs when a person intentionally touches or strikes another against their will, purposefully causing them harm. Both charges are very serious and can result in life-altering repercussions. There is no time to waste in building your defense! You don't have to fight your charges alone; call on their Broward County violent crimes lawyer today for counsel.

WHAT TYPE OF CONSEQUENCES AM I FACING?

In Florida, assault and battery both carry severe penalties, including fines, jail time, and other repercussions. Depending on the factors involved in your case, you could even be facing a felony. This could greatly impact not only your reputation, but your future for years to come.

THE PENALTIES WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEVEL OF THE CRIME YOU ARE ACCUSED OF:

  • Simple assault: This charge is considered a second degree misdemeanor and can carry a 60-day sentence with up to $500 in fines.
  • Simple battery: This charge will result in a first degree misdemeanor and may carry up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 in fines.
  • Aggravated assault: This type of assault is a third degree felony that carries up to 5 years in prison and no more than $5,000 in fines.
  • Aggravated battery: You could be facing a second degree felony, up to 15 years in prison and no more than $10,000 in fines.
