LAS VEGAS BATTERY LAWYER

In Las Vegas, a conviction for assault in that a battery charge usually requires actual physical contact.

The following Nevada Battery Statute details the potential consequences associated with a conviction for Battery:

NRS 200.481 Battery: Definitions; Penalties.

(a) “Battery” means any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.

If the battery is committed with the use of a deadly weapon, and:

 (1) No substantial bodily harm to the victim results, for a category B felony by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 2 years and a maximum term of not more than 10 years, and may be further punished by a fine of not more than $10,000.
