Charged with Battery in California? I’m Here to Defend Your Rights and Your Future.
Battery is a serious criminal charge in California, carrying significant penalties that can include jail time, fines, and a lasting criminal record. Whether you’re accused of a simple battery, domestic battery, or aggravated battery, the consequences can be life-altering. If you’ve been charged with battery, it’s essential to have a skilled attorney who understands California law and can provide a strong defense. I’m committed to protecting your rights, challenging the evidence, and fighting for the best possible outcome in your case.
What I Offer:
Understanding California Battery Law: Under California Penal Code Section 242, battery is defined as the willful and unlawful use of force or violence against another person. Unlike assault, which involves an attempt to use force, battery requires actual physical contact. I’ll help you understand the specific charges you’re facing, whether it’s simple battery, domestic battery, or aggravated battery, and how the law applies to your situation.
Challenging the Evidence: A key part of your defense will be challenging the prosecution’s evidence. I’ll thoroughly investigate the incident, examining witness statements, police reports, and any available video footage to identify inconsistencies, lack of intent, or other factors that could weaken the prosecution’s case. My goal is to create reasonable doubt and work toward having the charges reduced or dismissed.
Defending Against Misdemeanor and Felony Battery Charges: Battery charges in California can range from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the severity of the alleged offense and whether any injuries occurred. I’ll work to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors or have the charges dismissed altogether, minimizing the impact on your life.
Exploring Self-Defense and Other Legal Defenses: If you acted in self-defense or defense of others, this is a crucial element of your defense. I’ll work to demonstrate that your actions were justified under the circumstances, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges. Additionally, I’ll explore other defenses, such as lack of intent, accidental contact, or false accusations.
Minimizing Penalties: Even in cases where a conviction seems likely, I’ll fight to minimize the penalties you face. This could involve negotiating plea deals for lesser charges, advocating for probation instead of jail time, or seeking alternative sentencing options that focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
