Violent crimes or assault charges are those where an individual is accused of harming, or attempting to harm, another human being.
These charges range from misdemeanors like simple assault, tried in the Magistrate Court with a maximum sentence of thirty days imprisonment, to murder, tried in the Court of General Sessions with sentences of thirty years to life in prison or death by lethal injection.
Managing the Murder Defense of Someone You Know
Violent crime is actually on the decline in our region and across the country. But it still happens when emotions run high and judgment is poor. At the Powers Law Firm our lawyers have assisted in the criminal defense of hundreds of individuals charged with a variety of violent crimes, including murder, rape and arson.
It is our belief that everyone deserves competent representation. Furthermore it must be borne in mind that not everyone charged with a crime is guilty of it. People are falsely identified, or they were acting in self-defense, or their rights were violated in the arrest.
