Fort Lauderdale Assault & Battery Lawyer
Assault & Battery Attorney in Fort Lauderdale
Florida law defines assault as "an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent." Battery is a separate different offense that occurs when a person "actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other or intentionally causes bodily harm to another person." There are different categories of assault and battery depending upon the level of harm inflicted upon the victim and whether or not a weapon is used during the commission of the crime.
