Like domestic violence disputes, it is extremely common for assault and battery charges to stem from heated arguments gone wrong. Additionally, due to mandatory arrest laws, you could be the one going downtown in the back of a police cruiser, even if you didn’t start the fight, simply because you weren’t the one who called the police.
Luckily, if you’ve been arrested on assault or battery charges, there are things you can do to protect your future moving forward.
