Las Vegas, Nevada Assault and Battery Attorney
A charge of assault and battery may be either a misdemeanor or felony charge, depending on the circumstances of your case. If convicted, you could be left with a permanent criminal record that may interfere with your ability to get hired or keep the job your currently have. Additionally, if you're divorced, a conviction for assault and battery could impact your visitation rights and ability to own a firearm.
Further, the person you are alleged to have assaulted could sue you in civil court for the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In order to understand what you're facing and how to best position your case, it's important to work with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who understands how to prepare the facts of your case and present them in a way that defends your best interests.
At Huggins Law Office , we have the experience and knowledge needed to represent those charged with assault and battery, tell their side of the story and avoid unnecessary legal complications.

Battery vs. Self Defense - Fighting the Charges against You
When a fight breaks out, witnesses aren't always aware of how it started --all they see are two people fighting. If they see one person on top of the other or hitting the other person, they often assume he or she is the aggressor. As a result, what may be an act of self-defense or an attempt to protect someone else can be misinterpreted as battery. That's why Mr. Huggins takes the time to interview eyewitnesses, inspect security camera footage if available, and recreate the events that led up to a physical confrontation.
Contact Assault and Battery Defense Attorney Shawn Huggins
It's important to tell your side of the story in cases involving assault and battery. Even if you are guilty, the court may be more inclined to reduce the charges or sentence against you if you are repentant and willing to enter counseling. Even in cases involving misdemeanor assault and battery, you could be sentenced to time in jail which your employer may frown upon and ultimately fire you for.
To discuss your case and the options available to you, contact criminal defense attorney Shawn Huggins today.
