Providing Zealous Defense For Over 25 Years

Get A Violent Crimes Attorney Who Really Cares About Your Future

Police and prosecutors are often obsessed with statistics. They don’t like to see unsolved crimes or lost cases on their books. This means that they tend to pursue cases – especially those involving violent crimes – very aggressively. If unopposed by quality defense counsel, they will not hesitate to seek the most serious charges and the most severe penalties possible.

Don’t Let Police And Prosecutors Sacrifice Your Future To Boost Their Reputation!

Instead, make sure you have an experienced violent crimes attorney on your side. Your attorney can not only present arguments to prove your innocence but also work to secure reduced charges and/or reduced penalties when a plea deal is appropriate.

Answering Common Queries About Violent Crimes

Facing charges for a violent crime can be overwhelming and confusing. To help you understand what you are facing, I’ve listed some of my clients’ frequently asked questions about violent crimes charges.

What are the potential penalties for assault and battery charges?

Assault and battery charges can lead to serious consequences. Penalties might include jail time, fines, probation or mandatory anger management classes.

How can a defense attorney help in a self-defense case?

A defense attorney plays a crucial role in a self-defense case. They can gather evidence that shows you acted to protect yourself, such as witness testimonies or video footage.

What should I do if I’m falsely accused of a violent crime?

If you’re falsely accused of a violent crime, it’s important to act quickly. Contact a defense attorney who can help protect your rights and build a strong case in your favor. Avoid speaking to law enforcement without your attorney present.

What is the difference between assault and aggravated assault?

Assault refers to the attempt or a physical act that results in minimal injuries. Aggravated assault is more serious and involves circumstances that increase the severity of the offense, such as the use of a weapon or causing serious injury.

How do prior convictions affect sentencing in violent crime cases?

Prior convictions can significantly impact sentencing in violent crime cases. If someone has a history of similar offenses, the court may impose stricter penalties. This can include longer jail time, higher fines or more severe probation terms.

Understanding these aspects can empower you to make informed decisions and take appropriate action. It is always recommended to seek the advice of a qualified attorney who can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation.
