Various Types of Assault & Battery Charges in Virginia

In Virginia, the term “assault” refers to the threat of physical violence, whereas the term “battery” refers to actual physical violence.

Assault and battery can be simple or aggravated:

  • Simple assault: A weapon was not involved and the injuries, if any, were not very severe.
  • Aggravated case: A weapon was involved, and the injuries sustained, if any, were serious.

It is also possible to be charged with attempted assault or conspiracy to commit assault. Domestic violence often also takes the shape of assault or battery. “Domestic” in this sense simply means that the action was taken against someone you live with or someone related to you.

Defending Assault Charges in Fredericksburg

Some criminal assault cases are dismissed based on an “accord and satisfaction,” which usually involves the criminal defendant paying the victim a sum of money outside of the criminal proceedings—possibly, but not necessarily, as part of a related civil lawsuit. An experienced assault lawyer can advise you whether this or other defenses apply to your case.

Since an assault conviction carries such serious consequences, our firm believes there is no time to waste in investigating and defending your case. The sooner you call our Fredericksburg assault attorney, the sooner we can put our experience to work for you.

We are serious about your defense when you are charged with assault. Contact us today at (540) 999-1886.
