Battery and Assault Defense Lawyer in Danbury, New Haven, Stamford and All Connecticut Cities

Have you been arrested for Battery or Assault in a Waterbury, Hartford, Middletown or anywhere in the State of Connecticut?

You should contact a Pattis and Smith Assault and Battery defense attorney immediately. Our experienced criminal defense lawyers are successful at defending people charged with Assault and Battery.

Norm Pattis, one of the country’s highest rated trial lawyers and founder of Pattis and Smith, wants you to know:

• Battery charges include simple battery, sexual battery, battery related to family violence, and aggravated battery;
• Aggravated battery comes into play when a person intends to cause serious bodily harm, as would be the case if they use a weapon, or if the battery is directed toward a minor, a police officer, or other protected person;
• Assault is similar to battery but requires only a threat of violence, rather than an actual touching of the victim and it becomes aggravated assault if there is a deadly weapon or if done with the intent to commit a felony.

The prosecutor and police have already started building a case against you by the time you are charged with Assault or Battery so you must act quickly to prevent the state from gaining more of an advantage.

If you are innocent of the crime charged or if your civil rights were violated in the arrest, our criminal defense lawyers will focus on having the arrest invalidated, evidence excluded from the trial, implement a strategy to have the charges dismissed, and have the record erased.

It is important to talk to the experienced Connecticut Assault and Battery lawyers at Pattis and Smith immediately to preserve your rights.

Norm Pattis and Pattis and Smith attorneys quickly look for weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case and will immediately demand the details of the case against you, quickly make motions to exclude evidence, investigate the credibility of witnesses, and review of your background to list all factors a prosecutor can consider for a dismissal or reduction of the Battery or Assault charge or a judge can use to dismiss the case or limit the penalty to probation or a short term in country jail rather than state prison.

We want to protect your rights and help get the Battery, Aggravated Battery, Assault, or Assault charge against you dismissed. We want to defend you against criminal charges and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
