Broward County Violent Offenses Attorney
Top-Level Defense Against Fort Lauderdale Violent Crimes Charges
A conviction for a violent crime will alter the course of your life, even being accused and charged of one can also do that. If you have been accused or charged of a violent offense in Fort Lauderdale or Broward County, FL, the best thing you can do now is to call our office for help from a top-rated Fort Lauderdale violent crime lawyer and Broward County criminal defense attorney so that we can help you to avoid a poor outcome in your case with hopes to prevent you from actually being convicted of the crime alleged. Every violent crime, including each one that is included in our list below, will carry jail time as a possible punishment. These are not offenses to which one convicted can just pay a fine and move on like a simple traffic ticket. If that were the case then beating some one up (or worse) would be essentially allowed for those who simply had enough money to pay the fine. That is not the way the law works in South Florida and the USA to deter such behavior as it would result in chaos, and instead jail time is always apart of the punishment the judge can and will order. That said, it is imperative that you be represented by an attorney who is good at trial, and good at negotiating a possible plea agreement to resolve the case or get the case dismissed.

What are Violent Crimes?
Violent crimes are those in which one person inflicts, or threatens inflict, bodily harm upon someone else. It is a broad definition that encompasses many types of different misdemeanors and felonies, but the idea for the class of crimes, is to distinguish them from other crimes that do not do physical harm to someone else such as credit card theft. While credit card theft will harm someone financially, that sort of harm is not of the physical harm of bodily pain and suffering directly inflicted by the hands of another, even though harm could come from that sort of harm more indirectly.
Violent crimes are often penalized more harshly than non-violent crimes and that means that if you are facing a violent crime charge, you are facing much more of a chance to find yourself behind bars, and behind bars for longer, if convicted of the violent crime.
Wichman Law Firm has a violent crime attorney in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County that can help with accusations of these types of cases, such as assault, battery, and manslaughter. Call our office today to see how we can help at (954) 373-1529.
