Franklin Assault & Battery Attorney

Defense for Violent Crimes in Williamson County

Assault and battery are two crimes of a violent nature which are often charged together. Assault is the action of making a threat to hurt or kill another, and having the ability to carry out that threat. Battery is the actual physical act of causing harm to another person.

These crimes can be charged as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances. The amount of injury caused to the alleged victim is one of the main factors considered when charges are filed. It is vital that you speak with a Franklin criminal defense attorney from Dana McLendon Law as quickly as possible after your arrest.
