Aggravated Battery

Miami Aggravated Battery Criminal Defense Attorney

Battery is the intentional, non-consensual touching of another — regardless of whether it resulted in no physical harm or severe injury. Aggravated battery is a more serious form of the charge. To charge someone with aggravated battery, prosecutors must believe that the battery intentionally or knowingly caused great bodily harm, disfigurement or disability; used a deadly weapon; or was knowingly perpetrated on a pregnant woman. Aggravated battery is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison, making it essential that you retain an experienced South Florida aggravated battery criminal defense lawyer.
