What Constitutes Simple Assault VS Battery?
It’s important to understand the distinctions between assault and battery, as Florida law has separate consequences for each charge. Assault doesn’t require physical contact; it can be a physical or verbal threat. Battery, on the other hand, involves causing bodily injury or making physical contact against another person’s will. Depending on the circumstances, an arrested person can be charged with both assault and battery.

What are the Penalties for Assault & Battery?
In Florida, assault charges are not to be taken lightly. They are considered a second-degree misdemeanor, carrying a potential jail term of up to 60 days and a maximum fine of $500. On the other hand, battery is even more serious, being considered a first-degree misdemeanor. A battery charge could mean up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. For someone with a prior conviction on battery charges, the stakes are even higher, with jail terms potentially reaching 5 years and fines up to $5,000.
When a deadly weapon is involved in the battery charge, or if the person attacked is pregnant, or the attack leads to permanent disability or disfigurement, it’s considered “aggravated” battery. This charge is much more severe and is considered a second-degree felony. The seriousness of this crime can lead to up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, highlighting the severe consequences of aggravated battery. If you or a loved one faces any of these charges, it’s critical to secure release from jail so that legal assistance can be secured and you can begin to mount a legal defense.

What Are the Most Common Types of Bail Bonds?
When it comes to bail bonds, there may be several options available for friends and family members, and the type of bond you may need will depend on a few factors. Things such as the offense for which the defendant is being charged, what the total amount for bail is, and your current financial situation can all have an effect on the kind of bond you may need. The following types of bail bonds are the most common forms of posting bail.
Surety Bonds
By far the most common state bond, a surety bond, is governed by Florida regulations and stipulates that the bondsman will be paid 10%. The bondsman then provides the remainder of the bond to the court. This is the law. There is NEVER an instance where a bondsman can offer you a deal or charge more than the stipulated 10%. The only exception to this 10% rule is when bail is set under $1,000. Regardless of the amount below $1,000, the cost is $100, not 10%. Since the law is specific, the only difference that separates the multitude of bail bonds companies is the service you will be provided.
Federal Bail Bonds
A federal bail bond comes into play when the alleged crime is of a federal nature or involves interstate criminal activity. Examples of this would be crimes that cross state lines or any crime investigated by a federal agency like the FBI, Post Office, IRS, or Immigration Services. The types of crimes that would require a federal bail bond include tax evasion, drug trafficking, fraud, and kidnapping. As well as any crime that takes place on federal property.
Federal bonds are most often many times higher than a state bond. The premium rate in Florida for a federal bail bond is 15%. Often, a judge will add a “Nebbia” requirement. This means that whoever is paying the bond must provide proof that any collateral or money used is from a legitimate source. The professionals at Bazarte Bail Bonds are experienced in dealing with federal bail bonds and can be instrumental in helping the arrestee deal with these intricacies. We can also help with signature and immigration bonds.
Self-Arrest Bonds
When a person believes there may be an outstanding warrant for their arrest, it is possible for the offender’s bail to be paid without going through the process of being detained in jail. The reason for this is simple. Jails are overcrowded. If someone believes a warrant exists against them, the best course of action is to contact Bazarte Bail Bonds. We can verify the record, explain the process, and accompany you to a facility that accepts self-arrests. We will explain what identification is required and the proper dress code.
