Understanding Violent Crime Charges in Florida
The state of Florida defines a violent crime as any offense that involves the use or threat of physical force against another person or property. Attorney Mills represents people charged with both felonies and misdemeanors for a wide range of alleged offenses.
Common Violent Crime Charges We Defend
- Assault involves intentionally threatening or causing harm to another person, even if no physical contact occurs. It can range from simple assault to aggravated assault, depending on the severity and circumstances of the threat.
- Battery refers to the intentional and unlawful use of force against another person, resulting in harmful or offensive physical contact.
- Aggravated battery occurs when a deadly weapon is involved in the incident. This charge is more severe than simple battery and carries harsher penalties in the event of a conviction or guilty plea.
- Robbery is using force, intimidation, or violence to take someone else’s property. It is considered a violent crime due to the element of coercion or harm inflicted during the commission of the offense, which makes it different than the non-violent crime of theft.
- Domestic violence includes any abusive behavior within a domestic or familial relationship, such as spousal abuse or child abuse. These charges often carry additional legal implications and protective measures.
- Sexual assault encompasses non-consensual acts, from unwanted touching to rape. The sensitive nature of sex crimes means defendants can lose support from those they trust. We stand by our clients because we believe people are innocent until proven guilty.
- Homicide involves the killing of another person and can be classified as murder or manslaughter based on the circumstances surrounding the death. The severity of homicide charges varies depending on intent and premeditation.
- Kidnapping is the unlawful transporting or confining of another person against their will.
- Arson is the intentional act of setting fire to property or structures.
Understanding the nuances of each crime and how to investigate them is an important part of being an effective defense lawyer. Attorney Mills brings a wealth of knowledge, skill, and dedication to every case we handle.
