Understanding Simple vs. Aggravated Battery Charges
Although state laws vary on some of the details, simple battery is the act of engaging in unwanted physical contact with someone while trying to injure them. Under most circumstances, simple battery is a misdemeanor.
Aggravated battery is when you intend to do severe bodily harm to the other party or if you attack someone especially vulnerable. If convicted of aggravated battery, you’ll likely face huge fines and significant prison time. To have the best chance of having the charges dropped or prevailing in court, you need a lawyer whose passion for justice drives them to defend you, with meticulous research, aggressive cross-examination, and a thorough knowledge of criminal law. Our Plano battery attorney has that passion for justice.
