Jupiter Battery Laws

Around the Fort Lauderdale part of Florida, battery charges stem from serious and violent crimes every year. If you have been charged with misdemeanor battery, which is the crime in the lowest form, you have committed a crime where somebody was touched or struck intentionally in a non-consensual way. If you have been accused of causing harm to another party, you could be facing very serious penalties. You still have rights through every step of the process, from initial interrogations to court.
