Houston Criminal Defense Attorney
Texas Assault and Battery Lawyer
Assault and battery are very serious crimes and come with hefty penalties including jail time and large fines. If charged with assault and battery you should contact an experienced Houston criminal lawyer that can protect your rights and fight your case in a court of law.
Assault and battery are related because they usually occur at the same time but they are two completely different crimes. Battery is the actual act of violence and assault is the act of threatening to injure someone. If you are convicted of assault and battery you may be facing the following consequences:
- Jail time
- Probation
- Large fines
- Counseling / anger management classes
- Employment difficulties
To possibly have the consequences of an assault and battery conviction minimized or even have your case dismissed you will need a skilled Houston criminal attorney. At The Law Offices of Houston criminal lawyer James Alston we aggressively defend clients who have been charged with assault and battery.
Building a strong strategy to defend against an assault and battery charge is complex and requires years of experience. Some of the possible defenses a Houston criminal lawyer may use to fight your assault and battery charge are:
- Punishment. Some jurisdictions allow limited physical force for discipline.
- Consent. The victim of the assault consented to the harm.
- Defense of property, self defense, or defense of others.
- Voluntary, mutual combat.
- Prevention of a crime.
