The definition of assault is described as "the unlawful attempt to violently injure another person." Different types of behavior are included in the definition of assault - even attempts or threats to harm another person would classify as an assault (provided the alleged assault victim knew about the threat).

The definition of battery is described as the "unwanted touching of another individual, or anything connected to that person." Considered offensive, the definition of battery includes an intended act and without permission of the affected person. Battery is forceful and/or violent. The primary difference between assault and battery is that battery requires more than just a verbal threat.

The severity of an Assault & Battery charge can vary. Edward C. Weber has experience handling Assault & Battery cases, and works to aggressively protect your rights.
