Why Assault & Battery Defense Matters
— And Who Will Handle Your Case

Assault and battery charges are treated seriously under Florida law. Even a simple battery charge can result in jail time, probation, and long-term consequences that affect employment and personal relationships. More serious allegations, such as aggravated battery, may carry felony charges and lengthy prison sentences.

James Davis is a Jacksonville criminal defense attorney who personally handles every assault and battery case he accepts. With decades of courtroom experience, he examines witness statements, physical evidence, injuries, and police reports to identify inconsistencies, exaggerations, or procedural errors — and to pursue the best possible outcome for your case.

What Happens After an Assault or Battery Arrest in Florida

After an assault or battery arrest, prosecutors often rely heavily on initial statements and police reports when deciding how to proceed. In many cases, arrests occur during arguments or confrontations where emotions are high and accounts differ.

Failing to address inaccuracies or missing context early can limit your defense options. Early legal representation allows important facts to be presented, witnesses to be identified, and weaknesses in the prosecution’s case to be challenged before the case progresses further.

From start to finish, he was extremely pleasant to work with and always kept my best interests at the forefront. James handled every court date on my behalf, which saved me so much time and stress.
He kept me informed and updated every step of the way, so I always knew what was happening with my case. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my case was ultimately dropped — the best possible outcome.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently called Mr Davis's office to see if they could help with a Drivers License issue that they could help me with. I spoke with Ms. Anna Beyer the Office Manager, she took my information and said she would do some research and get back with me later in that day or the next day.  The next day she called me back and gave me all the information and emailed the forms that I needed to send to the Florida  DMV.  She was Professional and personable. She also did not charge for her services. I would highly reccomend the Law Office should you the services of a criminal attorney.
