Violent Crimes Lawyer
Violent Crime is a Broad Category
Violent crimes are not only treated seriously by the prosecution and criminal justice system. They also tend to be considered the most serious types of crime by the general public. Even being accused of a violent crime can lead you to be judged by other people wherever you go. A conviction can make other people believe that you are a dangerous and unpredictable person. Violent crime is a broad category and can include charges such as:
- Assault
- Battery
- Domestic violence
- Manslaughter
- Murder
- Vehicular homicide
There are also many sub-categories within each of these main types of violent crime. Because violent crime is so expansive, not all defense attorneys are prepared to handle every type. We understand the severity of the charges you are facing and are prepared to defend you against them.
Our Goal is to Have Charges Reduced or Dismissed
It is not only other people’s perceptions of you that will change if you are convicted of a violent crime. Penalties can include:
- Lengthy prison sentences
- Expensive fines
- Restrictions on behavior as the result of protection orders or restraining orders
- Mandatory counseling
- Community service
- Probation
In other words, the stakes are high. The stakes are, in fact, too high for you to face them without an aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney on your side. Our goal is to have charges reduced or dismissed to help you avoid maximum consequences. If your case goes to trial, we will defend you vigorously.
