Our violent crimes attorney defend clients charged with a variety of violent offenses, but the most common types of violent crimes include:
These and other violent crimes are treated harshly by the courts and under the statutes. But an experienced Phoenix criminal lawyer will spot all the possible defenses in your case, and may be able to have the charges downgraded, or have the case dismissed.
If you examine the various statutes covering violent crimes, it becomes apparent that there is a large amount of prosecutorial discretion in what charges will be brought in different situations. As experienced violent crimes lawyers, we know when our clients are being “over-charged,” and we know how to respond. We also know which defenses to raise, including self-defense and others, that may provide you with the ability to avoid a conviction. Finally, where a plea bargain is the best route, we can guide you through the process to ensure that you receive the best possible result under all the circumstances.
