The most serious charges need the most experienced attorneys.  The conviction of a violent crime, such as for assault, robbery or battery with serious bodily injury, can lead to life-altering consequences for those involved.  The Penal Code defines a violent crime as a criminal act in which a person uses force or threatens a victim. Oftentimes violent crimes are acts of passion, in which there is no premeditated intent on the part of the client to do wrongdoing.   But in other cases the violent crime may be committed to kill, to steal or to obtain something the victim has.   Sometimes violent crimes involve the use of weapons.

People who are convicted of committing violent crimes face harsh legal penalties.  A person convicted of a violent crime could face imprisonment, monetary fines, probation, court ordered treatment, mandatory enlistment on the sex offender registry (if the crime was sexual in nature), community service, and the loss of the right to possess a deadly weapon. If a person is convicted of a violent crime that is categorized as a felony, they automatically lose their right to own or possess a deadly weapon. In some circumstances, a violent crime conviction can even result in the death penalty.
