What Will an Assault and Battery Attorney Do?

An attorney will be responsible for handling every aspect of these cases on behalf of their client. Instead of relying solely on the information presented by law enforcement officials and prosecutors, our Chandler criminal defense attorneys and others across the state of Arizona will conduct an independent investigation into the incident in order to formulate their defense strategy. In these situations, an attorney can work to show the following:

• That the defendant was protecting themselves or their property when the alleged assault occurred
• That the defendant had no intention of committing an assault or that they did not actually commit an assault at all
• That no person was actually harmed due to the actions of the defendant

Additionally, an attorney will examine every aspect of the arrest and investigation procedures of the law enforcement officials involved. Police procedural errors occur all the time, and these errors can help an attorney get the charges against their client dismissed altogether.

Understanding Assault and Battery in Scottsdale

Most people do not realize that assault in Arizona can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. In this state, the charge of “simple assault” is described under A.R.S. 13-1203. This misdemeanor offense will apply in the following situations:

• If one person puts someone else in fear of bodily harm
• If one person touches someone else in a way intended to cause injuries
• If there is actual physical harm caused to somebody else

The charge of “aggravated assault” is described under A.R.S. 13-1204. This is a much more serious offense, and a person could face anywhere from a Class 2 felony to a Class 6 felony. If any of the following apply, a person could face aggravated assault charges:

• The victim sustained a serious physical injury
• The victim of the assault was restrained and unable to defend themselves
• The assault occurred with a deadly weapon
• The victim sustained temporary but serious disfigurement or fractured bone
• The assault occurred inside of a person’s private residence
• The victim was protected under the law and carried out official duties, including a police officer, prison guard, medical official, firefighter, teacher, etc.
