Providing Experienced & Aggressive Defense for Serious Charges 

What Is the Penalty for a Violent Crime?

Penalties for violent crimes can vary widely based on the seriousness of the crime. The victim's injuries are also taken into consideration. For example, battery may be charged as a misdemeanor, with the person paying fines and spending up to one year in jail. Felony charges, on the other hand, may result in prison sentences of 10 years or longer and hefty fines. When a weapon is used, the penalties further increase.
