Violent Crimes Defense
The penalties for violent crimes are harsh. South Carolina law mandates that you must serve at least 85 percent of a sentence that stems from a violent crime conviction. Because the stakes are high, you need the help of a licensed and experienced defense team.
Our Florence, South Carolina, law firm is ready to defend you. Our attorneys focus almost exclusively on criminal law, so we're not spread too thin in our practice. Instead, we are always right on top of the changes in the law and always working to expand our knowledge and capacity to defend you against violent crime or other types of criminal charges.
Violent crimes carry more serious penalties. For violent crimes, the law says you must serve at least 85 percent of your sentence. It is essential to have a lawyer who can fight to get the charges dropped or to make that sentence as low as possible.
Types of Violent Crimes
We handle many types of violent crimes, including:
- Murder
- Manslaughter
- Involuntary Manslaughter
- Arson
- Kidnapping
- Assault & battery
- Assault and battery with intent to kill
- Rape and other violent sex crimes
As your attorneys, we will fight to get your charges dismissed. If that is not in your best interests, we will negotiate with the prosecutor to have your charges reduced, and then fight for you before the judge and jury to get you the smallest sentence possible.
