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.
