Aggressive Defense for Violent Crime Charges

The Cochran Firm provides aggressive defense for clients in Dallas

A violent crime is a criminal offense that is committed when a person uses bodily force on another person or threatens to physically harm another person.  Violent offenses are also committed when people use weapons illegally or during the commission of a crime.

In the state of Texas, law enforcement is adamant about lowering the violent crime rate.  This is because violent crimes often lead to the injury and, in some cases, murder of innocent individuals.  Law enforcement is also eager to counteract violent crime because juveniles are often times the people that commit and are impacted by these serious offenses.  With peoples’ lives and well-being at stake, the state has chosen to adopt strict legislature and legal penalties for those who commit violent crimes like:

Assault Battery Aggravated Assault / Battery Burglary Carjacking Gang Crimes Criminal Threats

Stalking Domestic Violence Murder Manslaughter Illegal Possession of a Weapon Assault with a Deadly Weapon Terrorist Threats

People who have been charged with violent crimes, especially offenses involving the use of a weapon, need to retain the services of a professional criminal defense attorney immediately after they are charged by law enforcement.  When people are facing convictions for violent crimes, they need lawyers on their side who are committed to fighting the charges, challenging prosecutors and willing to go to trial if necessary.  Accused violent crime offenders will want to hire a lawyer that has a history of success when it comes to contesting violent crime charges, such as the lawyers at The Cochran Firm.
