Re: Assault and Battery

Depending on the facts in your case, your case could be disposed of in a few weeks. A few months ago, I represented a client in Cook County Jail for aggravated battery to a police officer. I filed my appearance and had a bench trial within a few weeks. The defendant was release a few hours after trial. He was convicted of a misdemeanor, resisting arrest, and given a sentence that equaled time in custody.
