Annapolis and Baltimore Assault and Gun Charges Lawyer
A violent confrontation can quickly change a person with no criminal record into a convicted felon. If you are accused of a crime that involves a weapon or violence, the best way to protect your future is to say nothing and contact an experienced defense attorney as soon as possible.
The following links offer more information about weapons and violent crimes:
- Assault and battery: Attempting to explain the circumstances of a bar fight or other violent confrontation can give police the evidence they need to convict you. To protect your future, stay silent.
- Domestic Violence: Many times a simple situation escalates into something out of control when you really had nothing to do with it. Being in the wrong place at the wrong times doesn't change the fact that you may be charged.
- Weapons charges: The simple possession of a gun for self defense can result in serious criminal charges in Maryland. I defend people charged with offenses such as carrying a concealed weapon, possession of an illegal weapon, use of a weapon in the commission of a felony and possession of a weapon as a convicted felon.
- Car jacking: Many people charged with car jacking in Maryland are minors. Your child's future can depend on keeping him or her from being tried as an adult.
- Arson: Arson is a serious felony with a strong prospect of jail time if you are convicted.
- Manslaughter and homicide: Manslaughter and murder charges are two of the most serious offenses, and the consequences are equally severe.
- Home invasion allegations: You can be charged with home invasion, a serious felony, if you break into a place while the residents are there.
- Burglary gone wrong charges: A burglary can turn into an assault charge if you are carrying a weapon and a homeowner unexpectedly confronts you.
- Traffic confrontations: A confrontation with a driver who cuts you off or causes an accident can quickly escalate into a weapons charge if you display a weapon. Even a flashlight, screwdriver or fake weapon can result in serious charges.
- Felony Murder: Anytime a death results from any activity related to a felony a person may be charged with "Felony Murder".
Alcohol or drug use may have played a part in the altercation and can sometimes have an effect on the criminal sentence. It is important that your attorney understand what can and cannot be used to diminish the potential sentence in a serious assault case.
