Criminal charges for violent crimes have extremely serious consequences and require lawyers experienced in handling and trying those kinds of cases. Examples of violent crimes are:

• assault/aggravated assault
• battery/aggravated battery
• assault or battery involving a police officer
• arson
• murder/attempted murder
• manslaughter/DUI manslaughter
• robbery/armed robbery
• kidnapping
• domestic violence

These cases often involve forensics, DNA and other methods of evidence detection not found in other cases. To properly defend these cases, it is important to thoroughly identify and interview all available witnesses, conduct a separate identification and analysis of the physical evidence and often utilize a private investigator to uncover evidence that has been overlooked or otherwise disregarded.

If you have been arrested and charged with a violent crime, it is important to contact a law firm whose lawyers have experience in handling these types of cases. As former felony prosecutors, Paul Shorstein and Jeremy Lasnetski have years of experience and have tried numerous cases involving charges of violent crimes from assault and battery to DUI manslaughter to murder.
