violent crimes

Your freedom and liberty may be at risk if you have been arrested for a crime involving violence or the threat of violence. Due to the nature of violent crimes involving injury, they are some of the most zealously prosecuted crimes in Florida.

Crimes are classified at violent when there is a use of force, the threat of use of force, a weapon, or physical injury resulting from a purposeful act of another. Charges include assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, kidnapping, false imprisonment, murder, manslaughter, stalking, robbery, resisting arrest with violence, sexual battery, arson, disorderly intoxication, and felon in possession of a firearm.

As you can imagine the penalties for these kinds of acts

are very serious and can result in a long prison term, county jail time, a high fine, highly restrictive probation, no contact orders, public service hours and always an anger management class. When allegations involve a firearm, it is more likely there will be a minimum mandatory prison term imposed or a sentence enhancement under 10-20-Life. Even if a weapon was used that wasn’t a firearm a sentence enhancement is likely.

It doesn't get any more serious than an accusation of a threat or harm against another and you cannot afford to be without reliable counsel.
