Facing Battery Charges? We Can Help

If you’ve been arrested on battery charges, you need someone to take your side. Battery charges, whether simple or aggravated, are serious crimes because if proven, you may face jail or prison time and have your reputation ruined. It also can be used against you in the future to show you are a violent person. If the police/prosecutor believes that you’ve engaged in physical contact with someone with the intent to injure them in some way, they can charge you with battery. Russell Hodges has successfully defended our clients from battery charges, and we’ll do everything in our power to bring about the best possible outcome for you, too.
