Assault and Battery
Criminal Defense Lawyer San Diego

Assault and battery cases can be filed as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending upon the injuries. If the injuries are alleged to be serious, the District Attorney's office may file the case as a "strike" which, upon conviction, can result in a state prison sentence and lifelong consequences of having a "strike" on one's record.

These cases often times involve individuals who know each other as friends, coworkers, family (non domestic violence), or neighbors. Other times, the parties are complete strangers. It is common for the prosecutor to seek a restraining order between the parties while the case is pending.
