Battery Your Case Becomes My Mission & Every Mission Is Possible

About Battery Allegations

Morris County Criminal Defense Lawyer

Due to the violent nature of a battery offense, the penalties can be heavy, including jail or prison time, fines and mandated treatment programs. Law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges, and juries do not look kindly on individuals accused of battery, especially if the alleged victim is a spouse, child, or a defenseless individual, whether you are innocent or if there were mitigating circumstances that led to the incident. In the event that you are charged with a battery offense it is very important to secure aggressive defense counsel immediately. A Morris County criminal attorney can fight by your side to protect your reputation and defend you against the adverse consequences of a battery conviction.

The penalties that can result from a battery conviction depend on the circumstances of the crime. You could face heightened penalties if the crime involved a weapon or if the victim of the crime was significantly injured. If convicted of battery you can face substantial fines and jail or prison time, as well as the consequences of having a battery conviction to your criminal record. With a battery conviction on your criminal record, you may find it hard to get a good job, be approved for housing, or receive a bank loan or other financial assistance. Whenever a potential employer, landlord, or bank official does a background check, they will see your battery conviction. These individuals and institutions are usually very hesitant to trust an individual with a violent crime conviction.
