Boise Lawyer Representing People Charged With Violent Crimes
Charges of violent crimes can arise from many unexpected situations. A pleasant night out can turn into a bar fight. A traffic dispute can lead to road rage. A disagreement between a parent and child can turn serious.
At Berglund Law, PLLC, in Boise, Idaho, we represent people charged with a wide range of violent crimes, from simple assault and battery, to aggravated assault and aggravated battery. Regardless of the charges you face, we can prepare a strong and effective defense.
- Assault and battery: Assault and battery can be charged related to any type of fighting — even when no injury results. While they are considered misdemeanors, they can have a permanent effect on your future and should be taken seriously. A conviction for simple assault or simple battery may prevent you from securing housing or employment in the future, or even owning a firearm.
- Aggravated assault and aggravated battery: Aggravated assault is assault with a deadly weapon or instrument, with or without intent to kill. It is also charged when you allegedly have used a level of force likely to produce great bodily harm. Aggravated battery occurs when a person causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement to another. Both carry serious consequences.
- Domestic violence and attempted strangulation: When two people co-habitate, are married, or have a child in common, they are considered to be in a domestic relationship under Idaho law. When these people have a fight that escalates to violence, domestic violence or attempted strangulation may be charged.
