Both are highly reprimanded crimes in Indiana, and those convicted could face serious life-long consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Assault and Battery Charges in Indiana<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are currently dealing with assault and battery charges, time is not on your side. It is crucial to take immediate action and hire professional legal counsel since the side of prosecution is already building their case against you. For this reason and many more, it is vital to hire an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delewislaw.com\/criminal-defense.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianapolis criminal defense law firm<\/a> as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve your freedoms. Because such charges are so serious, and come with a harsher level of penalties, it is necessary to invest in private criminal defense. It is not wise to take a public defender if you are facing a felony conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who to Trust for Indiana Criminal Defense for Assault Charges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>David E.
