Assault and/or battery charges need to be addressed immediately. These types of charges may stay on your criminal record forever and impact your life in a negative way, such as affecting your ability to get a job. The severity of the victim's injuries that resulted from an assault or battery may have a direct effect on the types of penalties an individual may be facing if arrested on these types of charges.

• Simple assault

The punishments for a conviction on an assault or battery charge depend on the level of offense and if it is considered a felony or misdemeanor. They also can depend on any previous convictions. You can be facing anger management classes, monetary fines, jail and a permanent criminal record, or lifetime registration as a sex offender (if the assault was sexual in nature).
