Types of Violent Crimes Cases Our Firm Handles
At our firm, we defend a wide range of violent crimes including:
- Murder
- Manslaughter
- Attempted murder
- Assault/battery
- Domestic violence
Common Circumstances That Lead To An Arrest
One of the most common circumstances that can lead to an arrest for domestic violence or a violent crime is when two spouses or partners start to argue and one calls the police. Once that phone call is made, the matter is out of that spouse's hands and somebody is very likely to be arrested. When law enforcement show up, they can arrest one party even if the other is not pressing charges or admits that it was just a simple argument. We believe that the mere fact you got into an argument doesn't necessarily mean you deserve to sit in jail, lose your job, or face other significant consequences of a domestic violence conviction.
Self-Defense in Violent Crime Cases
Under Virginia law, violence is sometimes justified in the case of self-defense, which may be an effective defense strategy. We can discuss your case in detail to determine if self-defense, defense of others, or another legal justification exists that could exonerate you.
