Assault and Battery in MASSACHUSETTS

General Assault and Battery Criminal Defense Information

When a person is convicted of an assault or battery criminal charge, they may not only be awarded various fines or penalties, but also be left with a permanent criminal history that may present obstacles such as finding employment, or renting an apartment / home, or education opportunities. A felony conviction will also result in the loss of certain basic civil rights, such as your right to vote, obtain or possess a passport, sit on a jury, or own / possess a firearm… just to name a few.

An assault occurs when an action or a threat places someone in imminent fear of a non-consensual touching. Assault does not involve physical contact. Defense of assault charges sometimes include self-defense, defense of others, and defense of property.

Battery can be defined as an intentional act of harmful or offensive touching of someone without permission. Accidental contact, no matter how severe, is not considered battery. To be charged with battery, the person who was physically harmed does not have to require medical treatment.

Attorney Mikhlin was affordable and worth every penny. He was available to meet right away to discuss the case. He... explained the situation clearly in laymen terms. He shared his strategy ahead of time to get confirmation on the plan. More than anything, his demeanor and professionalism was amazing. As I was dealing with a frustrating issue and unaware of all the legal aspects; yet he made a point to share reassuring and comforting words. He was a overall a decent person who showed concern for not just the case but the impact it would have on our lives. He even went through what to expect in court, and answered every question even the most stupid ones. He understood the hardship I was dealing with and did everything to make me feel comfortable. I was glad to have him on my side.read more

I would highly recommend Sergey Mikhiln to anyone facing criminal matters involving domestic abuse or the likeI had a... very complicated situation involving a very conniving ex girlfriend who relapsed on opiates. She wouldn’t vacate my home and as an act of desperation fabricated a DALaws in Ma are very strong in favor of “the victim “, especially in a male vs female accusationI was removed from my home while she stayed there on my dime for almost a yearSergey was prepared knowledgeable and always cool under pressureWe were prepared to go to trial but the “victim “ showed up too high to testify and when she finally came out of it told the court she didn’t want to testifyDidn’t want to perjur herself is more like itSo the case was dismissed before trial which is beat case scenario, but had we gone to trial, not only did I feel Sergey was fully prepared I was fully confident the case would be dismissedHuge thank you and my strongest recommendations to anyone ever in need of legal councilread more

Trusting Caring Lawyer and WE WON!!He sincerely cared about my case and what I was going through. He was extremely... responsive whenever I needed him. He went above and beyond. He is very fair with pricing and it was worth every penny. He is extremely knowledgeable and I believe he had prior experience working as a DA. I told him the truth, for I really got myself in trouble and looked guilty for leaving the scene of an accident and everything pointed to me being guilty. I even further incriminated myself went to the cops against his counsel and lied to them. However, he got the entire story from me and he believed in me and what I said. He believed I was innocent no matter how much I looked guilty. The clerk had it out for me and kept looking at my record with intent to issue a complaint. My attorney stuck to the facts showed him the pictures of no damage and the clerk dismissed them saying it could be any pole. My lawyer persisted and showed my phone calls to AAA right after the accident and my Lyft ride to prove I was on scene for an hour. He told the clerk the truth in regards to my lying to the police, which was I elaborate the truth when I get nervous and made it seem worse than it was. The clerk said I got an excellent lawyer because he was going to issue a complaint and did not that day. We won!!! I high recommend him he is the best. He really cares and will fight for you!read more

Assault and Battery in Brockton

In some States, Assault and Battery are not divided into two separate classifications of criminal offenses, they are the same crime, with different degrees of Assault or Battery charges, depending on the State.

When law enforcement investigates allegations of assault and/or battery, many times eyewitnesses may not have observed the event in question from the start of the altercation, reporting only what they observed and who they perceived as the aggressor.

Since law enforcement initially focuses on restoring order, due attention is not always given to fully investigate the assault and/or battery incident, sometimes resulting in the arrest of an innocent person who acted in self-defense or was protecting another person.

An Assault and/or Battery crime may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony crime, depending upon the evidence mounted against the accused. If convicted of an assault or battery charge, the conviction may result in:

Hefty fines
Lengthy terms of probation
Potential jail or prison time
Community service
Forfeiture of certain basic civil rights (for felony convictions).
Anyone requiring professional legal services regarding assault and/or battery charges or other criminal defense issues should be proactive in protecting their legal rights and seek the legal advice of an experienced assault and battery defense attorney, lawyer, or law firm.
