Panama City Battery Defense Attorney
Florida Battery Charges
Battery consists of touching or striking a person against that person's will or of intentionally causing harm to another person. Aggravated Battery in Florida occurs when the perpetrator intentionally causes the victim to suffer great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement.
Any type of violent crime charge threatens your future, as you could not only be subjected to harsh penalties but could also end up with a criminal record that would prevent you from owning a firearm.
Do not take any chances with the outcome of your case. Call or visit Shepard Law today for experienced, hard-hitting legal representation from our Panama City battery defense lawyers.
