Criminal defense lawyer handling misdemeanor and felony cases which involve violence
There are various types of cases which involve violent acts. Depending on the circumstances, the level of harm done and whether or not a weapon was a used, a defendant may find themselves charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. Common examples of such offenses include:
- Aggravated assault
- Family violence
- Armed robbery
- Theft
- Charges involving firearms
- Homicide
Such cases will usually begin with an arrest, although in some cases officers will take a report and then obtain a warrant and arrest the defendant later. Such cases often hinge on the admissibility and reliability of eyewitness testimony, whether law enforcement illegally collected evidence, whether the defendant was acting in self-defense, and whether the victim’s account of events is believable. It is crucial that you retain an attorney who is familiar with taking such cases to trial. Our office maintains relationships with experienced investigators who can be used to help locate witnesses, do background checks on the accusers or other witnesses, or help re-create the scene of the alleged crime.
