Facing Battery Charges? We Can Help

At Thomas DeMarco & Associates, we recognize the serious nature of battery charges and the impact they can have on your life. If you are facing battery allegations, it's crucial to understand your legal rights and the nuances of New Jersey law. While "battery" is commonly used in everyday language, it is often associated with the broader term "assault" in New Jersey’s legal system. We are here to provide expert legal representation to protect your future and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.


In many states, the legal term “battery” refers to the unlawful physical contact or harm inflicted on another person. However, in New Jersey, the criminal code merges the concepts of assault and battery under the broader classification of assault. As a result, charges that would traditionally be considered "battery" in other states are generally addressed under New Jersey’s simple assault and aggravated assault laws.

  • Simple Assault: This includes cases where a person purposely, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another, attempts to cause injury, or puts another person in imminent fear of physical harm. This is the equivalent of what might be called "battery" elsewhere.
  • Aggravated Assault: More serious instances of harm or injury that involve deadly weapons or significant physical injury.


Regardless of the legal terminology, the consequences of a conviction for what is commonly referred to as "battery" can be severe, and it is essential to have skilled legal defense.

Consequences of a Battery Conviction

A conviction for a battery-related offense in New Jersey can have long-lasting consequences that go beyond immediate penalties, including:

  • Criminal Record: A permanent criminal record can limit your ability to find employment, secure housing, or obtain professional licenses.
  • Financial Penalties: You may be required to pay significant fines and potentially restitution to the victim.
  • Restraining Orders: In domestic battery cases, you may face restraining orders that limit your ability to see family members or enter certain areas.
  • Loss of Rights: Depending on the severity of the charge, a conviction can lead to the loss of certain rights, such as the right to possess a firearm.
