Violent Crime Attorney in Virginia Beach

Defending Against Violent Crime Charges in Norfolk

This is where experience matters. Violent crimes such as malicious wounding, robbery, and assault and battery are serious. In Virginia, these offenses include severe punishments and often mandatory minimum prison sentences. We see common themes for defenses such as mistaken identity, mere presence alone without criminal intent, and exaggerated or even mistaken witness accounts of the crime. There are constitutional rights that have to be considered in all these cases. How was the search conducted? How was the interview conducted? Is there evidence that ought to be suppressed? There are co-defendant issues in many of these cases that bring out issues such as bias and cooperation agreements. These accusations often suffer from racial or gender prejudices that greatly impact the case.

We can help. We have the experience. It is essential that you receive the aid of a violent crime lawyer in Virginia Beach as soon as possible.

Types of Violent Crimes We Handle

In the state of Virginia, a violent crime is classified as a “crime against the person,” but this phrase can be vague and difficult to interpret. Some of the most common crimes of violence, however, can be categorized into distinct groups, as listed below.

Our law firm has proven experience in defending people against a range of charges, including:

• Murder
• Assault and Battery
• Malicious Wounding
• Abduction
• Voluntary and involuntary manslaughter
• Domestic violence
• Involvement in gang activities
• Robbery
• Burglary
• Carjacking

Defenses Against Violent Crime Charges

There are a number of ways to fight against the charges that have been unlawfully made against you. In certain cases, we can work to demonstrate that you were not even at the scene of the crime or had nothing to do with it. In other cases, we can prove that the crime was accidental or was an act of defense.

Examples of defenses we have successfully used to combat criminal allegations include:

• Case of mistaken identity
• Accidental and nonintentional contact occurred
• Acting out of self-defense, or in defense of other people
• Unreliable witness or witness dispute
• The victim in question began an attack
• The victim in question increased or escalated an attack
• Bias or prejudice from the police
