Violent Crimes Defense

How We Fight Violent Crime Charges

Violent felony cases are built on testimony, identification, and narrative. We focus on the fault lines:

• Was it self-defense?

  We investigate whether the accused acted to protect themselves or another.

• Is the identification reliable?

  Cross-racial identifications, suggestive procedures, and poor lighting can undermine the prosecution's case.

• Do the physical facts match the accusation?

  Medical records, surveillance, and forensic evidence often contradict initial reports.

• Are there inconsistencies in witness statements?

  Early reports and later testimony frequently diverge.

• Has the prosecution overcharged the conduct?

  In some cases, the facts do not support the level of felony alleged.

• What is the sentencing exposure?

  We evaluate whether mandatory minimum statutes or weapon enhancements actually apply.
