We Will Help You Navigate The Complex Laws
Under North Carolina law, you can be charged with three basic types of assault and battery offenses depending on the circumstances: affray, assault, and assault and battery. These can be charged on different levels. Factors that could increase the severity of an assault and battery charge include:
- An injury that requires medical attention
- Use of a deadly weapon
- Domestic violence
- Sexual battery
- Offenses against women, state officials, school employees or others specifically named by statute
- An assault against any sports official in an organized event, including youth and amateur sporting events
Domestic Violence: Combat Aggressive Prosecution With An Aggressive Defense
Incidents involving an assault against a spouse, family member or other individual with whom the defendant has a personal relationship are considered domestic violence.
If you have been charged with domestic violence, you absolutely need a lawyer on your side.
Domestic assault charges are aggressively prosecuted by the local district attorney specifically assigned to handle these cases. An arrest and conviction can have lasting consequences for you as well as your family, including:
- Stricter sentencing
- No-contact orders between you and the family member involved
- An impact on your parental rights
