Assault and Battery Defenses

  

 

Are you Facing a battery charge?

Dealing with an arrest in Orange County or Los Angeles County can be a stressful experience. If you or a loved one has been arrested for a battery charge or any other criminal charges, you need your questions answered and you need to know your rights.  The requirements to be found guilty of a battery are found in the California jury instructions. Understanding the law and having accurate knowledge of your defenses is the first part of empowering yourself.  There are many reasons you may not be guilty of battery.  Perhaps the investigating officer only was interested or received only one side of the story.  Perhaps the alleged victim had a motive to lie or fabricate the evidence.  A battery may even be 'justified.'  Justifications can include but are not limited to consent by another party, mutual combat, self-defense, defense of others, defense of property, and discipline.
