Battery is the willful and unlawful use of force or violence on someone else.
Battery can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the degree of injury sustained by the alleged victim.
Whether you are charged with misdemeanor or felony battery, you should consult an experienced Criminal Defense attorney to fully understand your potential defenses.
