Las Vegas Assault & Battery Lawyer

Get Years of Experience in Your Corner

Although often used interchangeably or used together to describe one offense, assault and battery are actually two separate crimes in Nevada. While assault is defined as the attempt or threat of bodily harm, battery is carrying out this attempt or threat. The severity of assault and battery charges will vary depending on the extent of injury, whether a weapon was used, and the circumstances of the offense, a person accused of assault and/or battery may face misdemeanor or felony charges.

In handling cases involving assault and battery in the Las Vegas area, I take care to fully evaluate the matter and determine the best approach. For example, I may be able to argue that contact was unintentional, or that you acted in self-defense or in defense of others. These are typically the most common defenses to assault and battery, but I may also explore other options that may entirely disprove that the act occurred at all, that the witness's testimony cannot be trusted, or that the alleged victim invented the event for reasons of jealousy, anger, or revenge. The defense strategy that may apply to your unique case may vary.
