Dedicated Violent Crime Attorneys
At Dozier Miller, we believe everyone deserves a skilled defense attorney who will exhaust all possible means to protect your rights throughout a criminal investigation and trial.
The Serious Impact of Violent Crime Charges
The justice system is relentless when it comes to violent crimes, with severe punishments including substantial jail time. The effect a conviction can have on your life — your career, your family, your independence — is staggering.
North Carolina's Stance on Violent Crimes
North Carolina is historically tough in sentencing violent offenders to keep violent crime rates on the decline. Common charges brought by state prosecutors include:
- Robbery
- Murder and attempted murder
- Assault
- Sexual assault and rape
- Kidnapping
- Domestic violence
Whether you’re falsely accused or not, you need a skilled, knowledgeable attorney to protect your rights and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Federal Charges for Violent Crimes
The federal government is equally tough, if not tougher, on violent crimes. Federal prosecutors specialize in cases such as:
- Robberies
- Firearms offenses
- Murder
Additionally, federal prosecutors can use underlying violent conduct to increase sentencing penalties. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines are an entire book; not a single sheet of paper with a sentencing grid. If you are charged with a federal crime, you need an attorney who is experienced in practicing in federal court.
Immediate Legal Support
If you’ve been accused of a violent crime in state or federal court, consult one of our criminal defense lawyers immediately. It is not uncommon for innocent people to damage their cases by talking to police without the advice of a lawyer. Though the court system makes every attempt to correctly identify innocent and guilty parties, innocent people can be convicted due to mishandled defenses.
