Seminole County Battery & Assault Defense Attorney

Why the details decide the case

The difference between a misdemeanor and a serious felony often comes down to specifics: whether anyone was actually injured, whether a weapon was allegedly involved, and who started it. A battery case can rise or fall on a single fact — which is why the full context matters, not just the arrest report.

Your defense starts with one call

  • Simple / misdemeanor battery
  • Aggravated battery
  • Domestic battery
  • Assault and battery

Why early action protects you

The sooner a lawyer is involved, the more options you may have — from challenging how evidence was gathered, to speaking with the prosecutor before charges are formalized, to protecting you from saying something that hurts your case. Waiting rarely helps.

Broadly, assault is the threat of harm and battery is actual physical contact. The specific charge changes the stakes — we’ll explain exactly what you’re facing.

It can be. Simple battery is usually a misdemeanor, but aggravated battery and certain repeat or weapon-related situations are felonies. Your facts determine it.

Florida law may protect you from prosecution if you used force lawfully in self-defense. Whether it applies depends on the facts — we’ll evaluate it.
