CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY – CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
Violent crimes are among the most serious criminal charges that you can face and carry the most severe penalties. A crime of violence is any crime that involves force, violence, or threats of violence to another person, including:
- Homicide
- Robbery/Armed Robbery
- Domestic Violence
- Kidnapping
- Assault/Aggravated Assault
- Weapons Offenses
- Carjacking
- Sex Crimes
- Weapons Charges
- Manslaughter
- Battery/Aggravated Battery
Violent crimes can be misdemeanors or felonies. They can be committed with or without a weapon. A conviction for a crime of violence may result in a wide range of penalties, including imprisonment, probation or parole, and, in some cases, the death penalty. The court can consider many factors when imposing a sentence, including, but not limited to, the facts of the case, prior criminal history, whether a weapon was used in the commission of the crime, and the injuries sustained by the victim. If convicted of a violent crime, you could face a minimum mandatory sentences that range from ten years to life in prison if a gun was involved in the commission of the offense or from five years to life in prison for repeat offenders convicted of a third felony.
