Lawyers Defending Against Charges of Assault and Battery on a Police Officer
Assault and battery on a law enforcement officer is separate charge, with more serious penalties than standard assault and battery, that is filed against someone who is accused of attacking a police officer. People are often surprised about the actions that can actually constitute assault and battery on a police officer. A person does not have to attack a police officer to be charged with this crime. Shoving or even touching a law enforcement officer is all that it takes.

Assault and Battery or Self Defense?
Do you believe that you were simply taking actions to protect yourself when a police officer attacked you in a heated situation? Did the police officer use force without reason? Was pepper spray used during your arrest? We have found that many instances of assault and battery against a law enforcement officer are simply matters of people defending themselves.
Attacking the Evidence Against You
Perhaps the assault and battery did not happen, and it was made up by the police officer to justify another criminal charge against you. What evidence do the police have? We will investigate. We will obtain witness statements. If there is no evidence that the alleged assault and battery took place, we will seek to have the charge thrown out. Then we will attack any other charges the police have filed against you.
