How to Defend Against Violent Crime Charges
Violent crime charges are extremely serious and can result in severe criminal penalties. That being said, it is important to remember that being accused of a violent crime does not mean you are guilty. In fact, many people who are charged with violent crimes are innocent. Our team can help you build a strong defense and fight for a favorable outcome on your behalf.
Some common defense strategies for violent crime charges include:
- Self-defense: If you were only trying to defend yourself, you may have a valid self-defense claim. Our attorneys can review the facts of your case to determine if this defense strategy is applicable.
- False accusations: Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for people to be falsely accused of violent crimes. Whether the alleged victim is trying to get back at you for something or made a mistake, we can help you fight false accusations.
- Insanity: In some cases, a person may have a valid insanity claim. If you are found not guilty by reason of insanity, you may be ordered to receive mental health treatment rather than face criminal penalties.
- Unreliable eyewitness testimony: While eyewitness testimony is often considered to be reliable, this is not always the case. Our team can work to challenge eyewitness testimony and other forms of evidence.
- Illegal search and seizure: If the evidence against you was obtained illegally, we can file a motion to have it excluded from court.
Our firm understands the complexities of violent crime cases and can help you build a strong defense. We will fight to protect your rights and future.

"One of the best law firm in Bronx New York"My case involves child custody and child support. I moved out of state with my kids and was served by my husband with child custody paper stating he wants full custody of the kids. I was so worried, I went online and googled law firm that deal with child custody and came across Wayne F Crowe Jr. after reading some of the reviews I decided to contact the law firm and I am glad that I did because everything works out excellent. Wayne help me won the child custody case which was a difficult one because it's a move of state with the kids without the other party written consent but Wayne keep on telling me that we were going to win and we did.He made it look so easy. Thank you Wayne. Lee was my Child support lawyer and he help me get the Child Support that was more that reasonable for my two kids with only few court appearances. Thank you Lee.

"Lee Coppage is amazing!"Lee Coppage is an absolute Lion in court! When I first saw this fresh-faced and young Attorney I had a moment of doubt until I heard him speak in Court and to opposing Attorney. He was fearless, articulate, forceful, and didn't hesitate to make himself heard. After 3 years of court dates, I believe this circus would have continued if not for him. Thank you Lee, you are my hero!!!- Millie

"My Lawyer is Sharper than Yours!"I am thrilled to be able to leave a rave review of my attorney Lee Coppage. Not only was he sharply dressed and his appearance spoke business but his expertise and manner in which he takes over a courtroom was amazing. I was always satisfied to know that he would definitely get my point across and my voice would be heard through him (loud and clear) every single court appearance. He helped guide me through the worse time of my adult life. I was emotionally flustered and extremely concerned about my children and their wellbeing. Lee was supportive, knowledgeable and extremely patient with me. Several times I had emotional breakdowns and the staff in Mr. Crowe's office was very respectful and tolerated everything. It was a long year for me but I am proud to say that I made the best decision by hiring the office of Wayne Crowe Jr and blessed by having Lee represent me in court during this custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided to me.- Janet Caraballo
