Violent Crimes

A violent crime is a criminal offense that is committed when people act violently, threaten to use violence or use violence while carrying out other criminal offenses.  Anytime people use violence or threaten to use violence against other people, it is considered a violent crime. 

After people have been arrested for a violent crime, such as stalking or assault and battery, the severity of their charges will depend upon numerous circumstances.  Some of these circumstances include:  the type of crime committed, peoples' criminal histories, peoples' ages, the location of the crime, if people caused others bodily harm, the extent of the bodily harm and whether or not people used a weapon.  Once a person has been formally charged with a violent crime, he or she may be sentenced with the following if he or she is convicted:  jail time, fines, probation, community service, mandatory counseling and/or restitution.

Anytime people have been charged with a violent crime in the state of Florida, they should know that if they are convicted, they will face the toughest legal penalties imaginable.  The state does not take violent offenses lightly as the nature of these crimes is brutal and can lead to injuries and deaths.  For this reason, people who are convicted of violent crimes may have to serve time in jail or pay substantial monetary fines.

The only way people stand a chance of avoiding harsh legal penalties is by obtaining a "not guilty" verdict, which can be best accomplished by working with a qualified criminal defense lawyer, like the lawyers at The Orner Law Firm.  In recent years, the Orner Law Firm has handled a variety of violent crime cases involving:  assault and battery, stalking, manslaughter, attempted murder, burglary, domestic violence and weapons charges.
