At Natoli & Associates, we understand the gravity of these charges and will fight to protect your name and future in Massachusetts.
Types Of Assault And Battery Offenses In Massachusetts
Assault and battery offenses in Massachusetts can take many forms. Did you throw a punch in a moment of anger? That’s simple assault and battery. Did you hit someone with a baseball bat? That’s assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Did you touch someone inappropriately? That’s indecent assault and battery.
Our assault and battery attorney, Thomas F. Natoli, has experience handling a range of serious criminal charges related to violence or threats of violence. We understand the nuances and are prepared to defend against a wide range of accusations.
The Far-Reaching Impact Of Charges Involving Violence
Violent offenses can lead to severe legal consequences. Misdemeanor convictions can lead to up to 2 ½ years in jail, fines, probation and mandatory completion of intervention programs. Felony convictions can result in imprisonment in a state prison and increased fines.
Beyond legal penalties, assault and battery charges can:
- Stain your criminal record
- Jeopardize parental rights
- Limit employment and academic opportunities
- Strain personal relationships
- Create a history of violent offenses, leading to more severe charges in the future
Further, if the alleged victim seeks a restraining order, you may need to move out of your home and refrain from going to specific places and contacting certain people.
These consequences can be disruptive and upsetting, but our firm is committed to minimizing the impact assault and battery charges have on your life and helping you move past this event.
