Violent crime cases are taken very seriously in court, and prosecutors in both state and federal courts argue fiercely to obtain a conviction. If convicted of a violent crime, the penalties can include fines, probation, and even incarceration.
In some cases, the convicted individual may be forced to participate in anger management classes as a form of punishment or following release.

Penalties For Violent Crimes
Violent crimes are almost always a felony. If you are convicted, the consequences could extend beyond fines and incarceration, including losing the right to drive or obtain certain licenses and making it difficult to find a job or own a home.
We offer legal defense for many violent crime cases, such as:
- Assault
- Domestic violence
- Kidnapping
- Hate crimes
- Sexual assault
- Gang crimes
- Manslaughter
- Murder
- Rape
- Robbery

Prosecutors must prove that the defendant had every intention of doing harm to another person. Even violent threats or threats of harming another. As part of the investigation process, Attorney Scott E. Edgett fights relentlessly to obtain reduced and dismissed charges.
