Hire an Experienced & Dedicated Attorney to Fight for Your Rights

Assault and battery is a violent crime in which a person purposely causes injury to another person, or causes a person to feel threatened by words or actions. This is regarded as a misdemeanor, and generally regarded as a more serious crime. If a person commits assault and battery against a family or household member, it is considered to be a domestic crime. Repeat offenses are obviously more severe. Hate crimes also carry steeper penalties, and are considered to be Class 6 felonies, so the best chance at a successful outcome for your case is hiring an experienced and dedicated attorney.
