Aggressive Carlsbad Assault & Battery Defense Attorney

Assault and battery, although thought to be similar, are actually two completely different charges. Assault refers to the threat of violence, where as battery refers to the unlawful physical contact with the intent to cause harm, injury, or pain. That being said, police officers in San Diego have the right to arrest and charge someone with assault and battery even if no actual physical harm was caused. Charges can also be filed against someone whose actions only demonstrated the intent to threaten or harm the victim.
