Understanding Assault and Battery Charges in San Diego
What are Assault and Battery?
In California, assault and battery are distinct but often related offenses. Assault is an attempt to commit a violent injury on someone else, while battery involves the actual use of force or violence. These charges can arise from a variety of situations, including personal disputes, altercations in public places, or misunderstandings. The penalties for assault and battery can be severe, ranging from fines and probation to significant prison time.
- Penal Code Section 240 (Assault): Assault is defined as an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another.
- Penal Code Section 242 (Battery): Battery involves any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon another person.
Common Scenarios Leading to Charges
Many people find themselves facing assault and battery charges after incidents that escalate unexpectedly. For instance, a heated argument at a social event might lead to physical confrontation. Even self-defense situations can be misconstrued, resulting in charges against the victim. It’s crucial to understand the context and details of the incident to build a strong defense.

When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty. |

As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison. |
