Savannah Violent Crimes Defense Attorney

Strong Legal Representation for Serious Violent Crime Charges

Violent crimes generally involve the use of physical force resulting in injury or death, and state lawmakers have put statutes in place that heavily punish these offenses. If you are accused of committing these crimes, you could face severe penalties and spend years serving in a state correctional facility. Even the accusation of certain violent crimes can ruin a reputation, well before the person gets to court. 

Our experienced Savannah violent crimes lawyers offer a free, initial consultation, so you can learn about your legal options. Please call us at (912) 417-5008 or reach out here online today.

Common Types of Violent Crimes in Georgia

Many offenses are classified as violent crimes, including:

  • Aggravated assault/battery
  • Aggravated stalking
  • Armed robbery
  • Arson
  • Assault
  • Assault with intent to murder
  • Battery
  • Carjacking
  • Child molestation
  • Domestic violence
  • Kidnapping
  • Manslaughter
  • Murder
  • Robbery
  • Sex offenses
  • Terrorism
  • Vehicular homicide

Understanding Weapon-Related Violent Crimes

Crimes involving firearms, knives, or other weapons are considered violent crimes, whether the weapon was used or not. Heavy fines are imposed on these crimes, often as high as $100,000, not including restitution to the victims. An alleged victim who feared imminent harm from a perpetrator armed with any weapon – whether that person was harmed or not – will lead to more severe penalties in a conviction.

Hate crimes are also more heavily punished. A crime classified in this manner can be a serious legal problem. Hate crimes are violent crimes committed against another due to gender, sexual orientation, religion, country of origin, or another form of bias. Gang crimes also carry heavier penalties in many cases.

Our clients often arrive at our office extremely fearful about the future. We understand that you are worried about defending your name and reputation, family relationships, and future. 

It is important to remember that you are innocent until proven guilty in this country. Our Savannah violent crimes attorneys will treat you with the respect you deserve.

    “Extremely Professional”
    We would like to thank you for everything that you and your staff have done for our family. The situation we were faced with was something we could never have imagined and felt extremely lost with nowhere to turn. After our conversation and then meeting with you and Shannon for the first time, Matthew and I walked out of your office feeling 100% safe and confident that you would do everything in your power to give us the best chance in overcoming this unfortunate situation. You and your staff have gone above and beyond our expectations. You have Matthew a second chance to start over and allow him to continue with his studies and become an adult. I cannot say enough about your staff. Shannon, Carli, and Natalie, always made us feel like we were your only client. The attention that they gave us was something I would have never expected. They were always understanding, courteous, and very professional. I had to learn that this process takes time and your staff was always available to help me understand and to ensure our confidence. If anyone we know, is faced with a situation that you can help with, we will give your firm the highest recommendation possible. I can honestly say that Shannon, Carli, Natalie, and yourself are angels from heaven that were sent to us in our most desperate time of need. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts
