Understanding Assault & Battery in Massachusetts

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 265, Section 13A:

Assault is the attempt or threat to commit physical harm—even without touching the other person.

Battery is the actual, unlawful physical contact with another person, such as pushing, grabbing, striking, or hitting.

Common Situations That Lead to Assault & Battery Charges

Many of my clients are charged after incidents involving:

• Fights in bars, restaurants, or public settings
  
  

• Arguments with neighbors, coworkers, or strangers
  
  

• Domestic disputes involving spouses or partners
  
  

• Self-defense situations where the wrong person was arrested
  
  

• False accusations due to personal conflicts or retaliation
  
  

Even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges, prosecutors can—and often do—move forward anyway. That is why you must have an aggressive legal defense.
