Assault

Orange County Assault Lawyer

Many people assume the term assault and battery refers to one single charge, however, in the state of California these are two different types of charges. According to §240 of the 2010 California Penal Code, the term assault is legally defined as the unlawful and knowing attempt to physically injure another person. This differs from battery which is the actual use of force on another person.

The penalties that are associated with this type of violent crime are nothing to take lightly. If a defendant is successfully convicted, they will be facing penalties that are severe in nature. For example, under §241, some of the penalties that the convicted will be at risk of include:

  • Monetary fine up to $1000; and
  • Up to six months of imprisonment
