Assault & Battery
Assault and battery are two different but related crimes that often occur at the same time and, as a result, are typically prosecuted together. Assault involves the act of threatening to injure someone, whereas battery refers to the actual act of violence. Both assault and battery are taken very seriously in a court of law and carry harsh penalties including jail time and more.

Individuals who are convicted of assault and battery frequently face the following consequences:

• Imprisonment
• Large fines
• Probation
• Difficulty finding or keeping a job
• Mandatory counseling and/or anger management classes
