Miami Assault and Battery Attorney

Have you been arrested for or accused of assault and battery? It is important that you involve a Miami criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to challenge these charges and help you avoid a conviction. Assault and battery are actually two separate violent crimes which may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the particular circumstances of the case. Charged together, you may be at risk of facing a serious term of imprisonment as well as fines and the burden of living with a criminal record for the rest of your life. A competent attorney, however, can intervene and assist you in facing a better, brighter future.

Defense for Assault and Battery Charges in South Florida

There are viable defense strategies that an experienced attorney can explore in regard to your assault and battery charges. For example, were you acting in defense of yourself or of others? Did you have a lawful excuse for your actions? Another common factor in assault and battery cases is mistaken identity. You may have been picked out of a lineup when you actually had nothing to do with the offense at all, just because you look similar to the actual assailant.

By conducting a thorough investigation of your case and evaluating every aspect of your charges, arrest, and criminal investigation, your lawyer can determine how to best approach your defense.
