Criminal Defense for Violent Offenses

A violent crime is a criminal offense that involves the act of violence, violent behavior, or the threat of violence.
Violent crimes include, but are not limited to: assault and battery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, armed robbery, weapon crimes, murder, manslaughter, arson, hate crimes, terrorism, homicide, vehicular manslaughter and carjacking. 

Although a person is accused of a violent crime, there could be several defenses to the charge.  Sometimes, violent acts are justified through our justification section of the penal code, which includes self-defense.
