You bring a tremendous amount of dignity to the profession of criminal defense (your unswerving professionalism and respect for the law and the courts completely changed the image I'd had of the "stereotypical" criminal defense attorney).

We always felt we were in good hands with you handling the case. That we greatly appreciated.

While it's strange to speak of a younger man as a role model (you're two years my junior), I've considered you to be just that since the day I first met you back in August of 2006

Assault & Battery

When an individual intentionally threatens another person with bodily harm, it is considered assault. Unlike battery, in which physical contact is made, a victim of assault only has to fear that bodily harm is imminent in order to file a complaint of assault.

There are two types of assault: simple assault and aggravated assault. When assault is used in conjunction with violence and weapons to cause serious injury or death, it is characterized as aggravated assault. Simple assault is less violent and typically does not involve the use of a weapon.

When an individual unlawfully strikes, touches or makes physical contact with another person without his/her consent is it considered battery. Physical contact does not have to result in injury in order to be considered battery; any unauthorized offensive physical contact is considered battery. There are multiple types of battery including sexual battery, aggravated battery, and simple battery. In some situations, a person can file complaint of battery, even if physical contact does not occur (i.e. intentionally spitting on someone).

Depending on the severity of the assault or battery, an individual can be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony. Assault and battery convictions generally result in heavy fines, probation, behavior counseling, community service and imprisonment.
