Under its criminal laws and statutes, the State of Florida classifies certain types of criminal behavior as violent crimes, and provides and allows for the severe punishment of those found convicted of such crimes, be it jail, fines, or both jail and fines. Typically violent crimes, along with other types of crimes, are punished with jail time, or both jail time and fines, as opposed to simply a monetary punishment.

Violent crimes are offenses that involve the defendant using force or threat of force against the victim and some of the more common types of violent crimes that the Miami Dade County District Attorney’s Office for the State of Florida will charge suspects with are assault, battery, sexual assault, robbery, and homicide, which is a general term for a wrongful killing of another.

The severity of the offenses in this group of crimes are such that violent crimes regularly punished most harshly in the State of Florida. Sentences after a conviction for one of these crimes depends upon which crime it is, taking into account the criminal history of the Defendant, and can range typically from up to 30 days in the Miami Dade County jail to life in prison at one of the long term prison facilities in Florida.

In addition to imprisonment, one of the Criminal Courts in Miami, like the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building, can order you to be on probation or parole, which is likely supervised by an officer and will require you to comply with directives that require you to do treatment, counseling, community service, restitution, orders to prevent you to have contact with certain people or groups of people, and restrict your ability to go to certain places and locations in Greater Miami, or leave Florida or the United States. These restrictions and supervision can last for usually one year to up to 5 years after your release, and a violation is required to be reported in order to you be placed back in prison.

If you are innocent, simply the accusation, can result in having similar conditions placed upon you if released on bond, and if you can not make the bond then you sit in jail until the conclusion of your case. This can completely shake the lives of people outside with work, family, friends, and property they own.

Therefore, its essential to take any charges of this nature seriously and look to obtain the best possible Miami violent crime lawyer who can represent you in court effectively and work for your interests best..

Violent Crimes Typically Charged

The States and the US federal government define what constitutes a “violent crime” under their statutes a little differently, however there is some overlap, and a general list of the types of violent crimes we have helped people with in the past at the state and federal level include:

Murder and Manslaughter in Miami Metro Area

Murder is the unlawful killing of another and is the most severely punished felony of the violent offenses in Florida. Manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another, even if the act that causes the death was lawful, and the reckless type of manslaughter would be engaging in a behavior that is so extremeless careless that the person doing the act should have known that their actions could very easily cause the death of another, an example of this would be a killing by a drunk driver.

Rape in Miami, FL

The most serious and violent form of a sex crime is rape. Rape is the colloquial term for a criminal sexual assault and because it occurs by force or threat of force, without consent, this particular sex offense is also a violent crime. While these cases are some of the most vigorously prosecuted by the Miami Dade County Prosecutor’s Office, the allegations don’t have to mean you are convicted, even though you may feel that way at the start of the case and throughout. A skilled Miami sex crimes defense attorney can review your case, assess the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution’s case, and develop a shrewd, aggressive, and effective defense strategy to help you fight the accusations and if need be, win at trial.

Robbery in Greater Miami

Robbery is the intentional seizure of another person’s property with force or a threat of force. This is the most serious of theft crimes but it is also a violent crime because it is the taking of another’s property by violence or threat of violence to their body or to another’s body. If you have been accused of this crime then you should contact our office to see how we can withhold a conviction as this can result in serious prison time if convicted.

Assault and Battery in Miami Dade County

The words of “assault” and “battery” in a criminal context are often used interchangeable, however they can also mean two separate things, especially in a civil case. An assault occurs when the defendant creates a reasonable apprehension of fear that a harmful or offensive conduct is going to immediately occur, and a battery is the same however requires the actual contact to have occurred. In a criminal case the word assault is often defined in many jurisdictions as being indifferent to whether or not the contact occurred or not. These cases can be misdemeanors or felonies and result most often in prison time if convicted.

Aggravated Assault in Miami

Aggravated assault is the same as an assault however there are aggravating factors that make the action worse then just a “simple assault“, by the inclusion of a weapon during the commission of a crime, or through strangulation, or by more severe injuries, such as broken bones of the victim. If using a weapon then this is also a weapons offense. Call our office as these are felonies that can place you in prison for many years if convicted. (305) 317-1529
