The defense lawyers at Aiken, O'Halloran & Associates have extensive experience in defending aggravated battery cases. An aggravated battery charge, unlike a simple battery charge, usually involves the use of a weapon or some type of serious injury. These types of charges sometimes arise as a result of domestic battery situations. If a firearm was used, you could be facing a minimum mandatory jail sentence.
