Assault and Battery

In California there are a wide range of charges prosecutors use to charge people with acts of physical assault or battery upon another person.  Jail time, 52 weeks of anger management classes, crippling fines, community service, probation, restraining orders, restitution, potential lifetime ban from owning or possessing firearms, and even potential prison time are among the many serious repercussions that could result from a conviction of an assault or battery charge in Riverside, Los Angeles, or Orange County.  Furthermore, many employers will refuse to offer jobs to individuals with any type of assault or battery related conviction on their record.
