BATTERY AND AGGRAVATED BATTERY
An assault and battery charge is when there is evidence that you put you someone in fear either verbally or physically. In Illinois, if you are convicted of assault and battery, you risk the chance of spending time in jail and or paying a fine. The assault and battery charges can be upgraded to aggravated battery if it involves using a deadly weapon, attacking a police officer, senior citizen, school teacher, utility worker, government worker, or pregnant woman. If you are found guilty or plead guilty to assault and battery charges, you also risk the chance in a civil suit against you.
Because these are serious charges, it’s important to have an criminal defense lawyer on your side.
