Paulding County Battery Defense Lawyers

Also Serving the Accused in Cobb County, Douglas County and the Metro Atlanta Area

Battery is the use of physical force against someone in an effort to injure or frighten them. It is a serious crime that could put you at risk of misdemeanor sentencing, meaning you could face up to a year in prison and be forced to pay up to $1,000 in fines. A conviction will also leave you with a criminal record that suggests you are a violent criminal, hurting your chances of obtaining employment, housing, and loans. At Henrickson & Sereebutra, our Paulding County battery attorneys can help you obtain the best possible outcome for your situation.

Defending Yourself Against the Charges

It can be a scary feeling to face criminal allegations. Law enforcement and prosecutors are known for making excessive accusations against a person in hopes that the despair will free up information to convict them. You should not speak with law enforcement without having a criminal defense lawyer present. At Henrickson & Sereebutra, our team is with you from the very beginning.

You have rights, despite what you may have been told during your arrest. Just because you are accused of a crime does not mean you are a criminal. Our firm has helped clients to better tell their side of the story and receive better sentencing outcomes, whether by having the charges reduced or getting them dropped altogether.

Some defenses can include:

• Self-defense: If you believed you were in imminent danger, using physical force to avoid harm is not a crime
• Consent: A fight between two people who both choose to engage does not make one of them more criminally culpable than the other
• Accident: It is possible that someone may interpret an accidental bump as an intentional act and demand criminal sentencing, but this does not mean any criminal act took place
