Clearwater, Florida, Violent Crimes Defense
Charges of assault and battery can describe a wide range of offenses. Whether you were arrested for getting involved in a physical altercation such as a bar fight or are accused of using a weapon during an aggravated battery, many of these cases involve a dispute or a situation that got out of hand.
The potential consequences can be serious and involve fines, jail time or even prison. At The Law Office of Garry L. Potts, P.A., our lawyer is a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney with 20 years of experience in criminal law. We understand both sides of the system, and have the knowledge and resources to build a strong defense for you.
Criminal Defense Based on a Proven Record
There are many different factors that can go into an assault and battery case. Was a weapon used? Were guns or alcohol involved? Was more than one individual injured? Was self-defense involved?
These kinds of issues are rarely the sort of things that police can accurately assess on the scene; sometimes even a victim of assault who responded in self-defense can initially be facing a felony charge. Adding to that, there can be a whole range of issues after the arrest, such as posting bond or facing a protective order or injunction.
The sooner you get an experienced criminal law attorney involved, the more we can do to help you handle the wide range of issues. Our office stands ready to represent clients in cases of:
- Assault and battery
- Aggravated assault
- Aggravated battery
- Domestic violence
- Child abuse
- Weapons charges
It is important to realize that, if a firearm is used during a felony assault resulting in serious bodily injury, you are almost certainly facing a minimum mandatory sentence of at least 10 years — sometimes much more — in prison. Make sure the defense you hire can rise to the challenge of your case.
