If you’re facing assault and battery charges, you need a passionate defender on your side to protect your rights and freedom. At Rights First Law, we have extensive experience defending against these types of charges and can fight on your behalf.

What Is Assault & Battery?

In Michigan, an individual may be charged with assault or assault and battery. Assault means acting with intent to physically harm someone or causing a person to believe they were in danger of being harmed. For example, threatening someone with a gun would be considered assault even if the victim was not injured.

Battery means force was used to hurt someone. This could be from a slap or punch, or from using an object as a weapon. If you’re accused of battery, you are also simultaneously accused of assault since harming someone entails attempting to harm them.

Penalties for Assault & Battery

Assault and assault and battery have the same penalties for a first offense—up to a $500 fine and no more than 93 days in jail. Both are categorized as a misdemeanor. A second offense can be punished by up to a $1,000 fine and 1 year in jail.
