What Is Assault? Detroit Assault Defense Lawyers

Assault is usually defined as an attempt to cause physical harm to another person, though the legal definition is actually broader than this. Assault includes threats of violence or inflicting fear upon another individual, and assault charges can occur even if no physical harm was involved or intended. In simple assault cases, there are no aggravating circumstances, such as serious injury or presence of a weapon. Simple assault can still lead to jail time, fines, and a criminal record, however, with up to 93 days behind bars on the line for even the least serious simple assault offense.

What Is Battery? Detroit Battery Defense Attorney

Battery involves actual contact, not just a threat or attempt to injure like “assault.” For the purposes of Michigan law, though, “assault and battery” is grouped together into one charge.

In cases involving battery, it is much more likely that there will be physical injury or some form of weapon involved, making it more likely that the case will be elevated to “aggravated” assault status. Anyone accused of assault or battery should get in touch with an experienced defense lawyer right away, and take action to protect against the harsh potential penalties that could result.

Criminal Penalties for Assault and Battery in Detroit

Though there are many different case details which can change the specific penalties a person faces, in general, first time offenders will face up to 93 days behind bars for a simple assault, along with a $500 fine and possible restitution. For aggravated assault, up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine could result, along with probation and restitution. Felonious assault, or assault with a deadly weapon, could lead to 4 years behind bars, a $6,000 fine, restitution, community service, and a felony record. Anyone with prior convictions can face much harsher penalties for any assault or battery offense.
