Violent Crimes

Have You Been Charged with a Violent Crime?

If you have been charged with the commission of a violent crime in Los Angeles, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer who can guide you through the process.  Charges can range from simple assault to homicide, from misdemeanors to felonies, and the penalties associated with the offenses can be minor or extreme.  Your freedom, financial security, your future, and your entire way of life may be at stake.  Pretending the charges will go away is unrealistic and is not a viable option.  You need the help only a qualified criminal defense attorney can provide.

Misdemeanors vs. Felonies in California

Violent crimes can be misdemeanor or felonies. As a misdemeanor, such as simple battery, aggressive representation can often keep the ramifications of a conviction to a relative minimum. Fines and anger management are some of the common penalties.

Felony violent crimes are entirely different.  First, violent felonies are potential “strike” offenses. For more detailed information on strike offenses please visit our Three Strike Cases page.  In addition, violent felonies could lead, among other things, to lengthy prison terms, restitution, and fines.
