Defending Violent Crime Charges
Violent crimes typically involve the use of a deadly weapon such as a gun or knife. The severity of the case will depend on the degree of physical injury that occurred, as well as the defendant's prior criminal history. Ballot measures passed in 1994 now require mandatory prison sentences for many different types of violent crimes, such as 7 years and 6 months for 1st degree robbery, 8 years and 4 months for 1 st degree rape, and 10 years for manslaughter and 25 years for murder. If you have been arrested for a violent crime, your future is at considerable risk. An experienced and focused legal professional from our office will work to mitigate the charges against you, and take whatever legal measures are necessary in your defense.
