You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

What is considered felony assault or battery in California?

Felony assault or battery generally involves serious injury, use of a weapon, or specific circumstances defined by law. These charges carry more severe penalties than misdemeanors.

What penalties could I face for a felony assault conviction?

Penalties may include prison time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. The exact outcome depends on the facts of the case and prior history.

What should I do after being arrested for assault or battery?

Avoid discussing your case with others and seek legal representation as soon as possible. Early action helps protect your rights and shape your defense.

Can assault and battery be charged together?
