Rocky Wixom is an experienced criminal defense lawyer who takes your freedom seriously.

Whether you have been charged with a simple battery, domestic battery, or felony aggravated battery you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer in your corner.

Battery is defined as the unconsented to touching of another person.  It can constitute a slap across the face, a push, or even throwing water on someone.  If you are accused of battering someone in such a way as to cause "great bodily harm" you may be charged with felony aggravated battery.  If you batter a household member such as your spouse, girilfriend or someone with which you have a child you may be charged with "domestic battery". 

Charges of battery are almost always emotionally charged because they almost always stem from a verbal argument with another person.  Thus witnesses are very emotionally staked, sometimes with axes to grind, and may be prone to remember or describe things differently than you do.

A good criminal defense attorney can help you consider all possible defenses to a battery charge.  Defenses very from simply helping you tell your side of the story as to how things actually happened, including the parts often left out in the police report.  It may also include asserting a self defense or defense of another person. 

An experienced criminal defense lawyer will know that in many instances in Idaho you have no legal duty to retreat from a physical attack and that self defense allows for a reasaonable blow for blow approach to protecting yourself or family. 

Rocky is an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has won multiple NOT GUILTY verdicts for aggravated battery.  He has also won numerous dimissals to misdemeanor charges of domestic battery and simple battery, though many misdemeanor battery charges are resolved by pleas to reduced charges of disturbing the peace.
