What Is Battery?
Battery is defined as a non-consensual physical act that results in threatening, offensive or harmful contact with a person. Even if you have made a threatening statement that caused a person to believe that they were in danger of physical harm, you may be facing a battery charge.
What Are the Penalties for Battery?
Assault and battery are often charged together. Battery always results in physical injury or some kind of offensive contact. Physical contact is not required for assault to be charged. Assault may be an attempt to frighten or dominate another person that could reasonably instill fear.
Battery can be a felony if it causes serious physical harm or involves deadly weapons. A battery conviction will confer a criminal record. You may be fined or face jail time. You may be placed on probation and/or be forced to attend anger management training or counseling. If you have prior convictions, your chances of harsh punishments are high. Penalties for battery can involve a loss of freedom, financial punishments and restitution to victims.

It’s possible that your battery charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances. At Dhar Law, LLP, we thoroughly investigate the circumstances of each case to provide a tailored defense. Sometimes it can be proved that a violation happened during the process of investigation which could lead to evidence being thrown out of court. We build a sophisticated defense that can protect you against serious punishments or even get your charges dropped or dismissed. Don’t wait to get in touch.
