Experience and Dedication

• Assault -- To attempt or threaten violence against another individual. Assault does not involve the actual act of violence, only the threat.
• Battery -- An act of violence against another individual.

What began as a bar fight or quarrel among family members can escalate into charges of assault, battery, drunk and disorderly conduct, or domestic violence. Because these are all serious crimes, it is important that anyone facing charges seek representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney.

Before starting her criminal defense practice, Nancy was a prosecutor for Yolo County for over six years. Understanding how the other side builds its cases allows her to craft an effective defense and challenge the prosecution's case.

Both assault and battery are serious crimes that carry serious penalties. The consequences of a battery charge vary depending on the severity of injuries. If either of these crimes involves the use of a deadly weapon, the penalties may increase. An individual with a prior criminal record may also face enhanced penalties.
