Virginia Beach Assault & Battery Attorney
Defense Against Assault & Battery Charges in Virginia
In the minds of many people, an assault conviction on your record puts you in the unfair category of a “violent criminal.”
People often file assault charges out of fear, anger, and even revenge. Perceived threats and accidental contact can be elevated to assault or charges, especially when the alleged victim has an agenda.
Even a fifth-degree battery conviction, the lowest in the state, sends the message that you are dangerous and have a violent temper. If you have been arrested for assault and/or battery, you need to fight aggressively to prevent blemishes on your record.

Difference Between Assault & Battery in VA
Assault and battery are two separate crimes.
Assault Charges
Assault is the fear of imminent personal harm, often through threats, entering someone’s personal space, looming over them, and so on. Non-violent contact can also constitute assault. Spitting on someone or throwing something at a person, for instance, could result in an assault charge.
Battery Charges
Battery occurs when a person causes actual, physical harm. This involves kicking, punching, scratching, striking with an object, and so forth.
Assault and Battery Charges
When a person threatens someone with harm and then follows through with that threat, causing actual, physical harm, the crime is labeled "assault and battery."

Mr. James Weaver and his team are true professionals. From the start, he was honest and straightforward. He always stayed positive with me and kept me calm when I thought everything was going horrible. Mr. Weaver got me the best outcome possible in my situation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.- S. Bohrer
I hired Mr. Weaver for my family law issues. -
I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

Mr. Miller and his team worked diligently on my case and I am forever truly greatly. It was a long process but with prayer and fasting, I had faith in Mr. Miller and his team to get the results that I prayed for. They were straight forward and very patient at the same time. My husband is the one who search for lawyers/attorneys and Mr. Miller was the first and only choice. I can't say enough how grateful I am for all your hard work and fight that you did behind the scenes. God bless you Mr. Miller and your whole team.- M. Sellers

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client
