Assault and Battery Military Defense Lawyer

Assault and Battery Charges in the Military

Assault is normally defined as an attempt or threat to cause harm to someone.  Battery is the actual physical violence committed on someone.  The charge of "assault and battery" is the common term when someone assaults someone and causes them harm.  A charge of assault and battery in the military can carry serious consequences, resulting in an Article 32 investigation leading to a general courts martial.  If the type of assault was domestic violence, the serviceman charged can tend to be pre-judged as guilty due to the type of crime it is.  When facing this type of a charge, you do not want to risk your freedom and future by relying on an inexperienced military appointed attorney.  Due to their general inexperience, this could result in severe penalties, jail time and a dishonorable discharge should you be convicted.  Retaining a private, civilian, military criminal defense attorney who has years of experience in military law is essential in presenting a strong defense on your behalf.
