BATTERY CHARGES
Battery is defined as any such offensive touching of another individual with the intent to cause harm. The touching does not have to result in actual physical harm or pain to the other person so long as it was unwanted. There are many valid defenses to a battery charge and it is imperative that you contact an attorney immediately so that we may begin conducting an investigation into your case. Under federal law the crime of battery becomes an issue of federal concern when interstate travel is involved like in the case of interstate domestic violence (18 U.S.C. Section 2261) or a public official is involved. Immediate intervention is the best way to ensure a successful defense by allowing the investigation of evidence and witnesses that may be favorable to your case. You need the legal representation of an experienced attorney who will aggressively fight your case and help you through the process. Furthermore, any individual who used a deadly weapon in the commission of the battery may face enhanced criminal charges and/or sentencing.
