Santa Clarita Battery Attorney

Facing Battery Charges in Santa Clarita?

Battery is a very serious charge and carries heavy penalties in a conviction, particularly if the incident involves injury. Although assault and battery are often charged together, they are actually separate crimes. The penalties you could face if convicted of battery include fines, and time served in jail or prison, as well as other requirements, based upon the facts of the case. Battery can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, and this is a crucial piece of the puzzle for your Santa Clarita battery lawyer.

You Need the Best Battery Lawyer in Santa Clarita

Assault differs from battery in that it is actually a threat of violence. Battery, however, requires actual contact which may or may not be alleged to have caused injuries. Battery also includes the intention of harming the individual with whom the physical contact is being made. Due to the complex factors involved in proving a battery case, it is best to have an attorney on your side with extensive experience in defending charges of battery, and achieving positive outcomes at trial.

One of the first things we do when we take on a battery case is thoroughly review the evidence against our client. If there are any errors or holes in the prosecutions' case, we will find it and bring it to the attention of the jury and the court. If you are facing a violent crime charge, we understand what you are going through and want you to know that when we take on a case, you have a zealous advocate that will fight for you, from start to finish.
