Westland and Metro Detroit Assault and Battery Attorneys
Assault and battery charges vary extremely in their range of seriousness and in their potential legal penalties. While misdemeanor charges often don't lead to jail time after a conviction, the possibility of up to 93 days in jail does exist. Charges of felonious assault, aggravated assault, assault with intent to commit bodily harm and assault with intent to commit murder can carry sentences of many years and even life in prison.
Accused individuals are often surprised to learn that restitution can also be a part of a plea or conviction. Restitution involves paying for damages resulting from the crime, and can add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

AWB & Associates. Experienced in Handling Hundreds of Assault Cases.
We are skilled in handling the many complexities of assault and battery cases — from bar fights to neighborhood disputes. In a recent case, our client kicked an acquaintance in the face and was charged with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. We successfully had the charge drastically reduced. In another case, the alleged victim claimed nine thousand dollars in damages. That client's case was dismissed during a jury trial. In cases such as these, we aggressively fight to eliminate or reduce our clients' financial exposure.
A guilty plea or conviction can lead to a lengthy prison term, and financial liability cannot be eliminated through bankruptcy. For experienced legal help in your assault and battery case, contact AWB & Associates for a free initial consultation and full legal representation.
