Upon arrest, the defendant has the right to remain silent and should do so until a lawyer is present. This holds true for any type of questioning the police may give during transport or while in custody. All requests for legal representation must be honored; regardless if an attorney is hired or court-appointed.
Assault is charged as either a misdemeanor or felony, while battery is usually charged as a felony. Penalties range from fines and community service to jail time, depending on the severity of the event. It’s essential for anyone facing such charges to secure experienced legal counsel who will be able to properly assess the situation and provide clear direction in terms of mounting a defense.
