Rochester Violent Crimes Attorney

The FBI categorizes violent crimes as murder and manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Other charges, however, such as arson, kidnapping, and weapons charges, can also fall under this category (per the New York State Penal Code). If you have been charged with a violent crime, you need to retain legal services immediately. The penalties for a violent crime conviction are especially severe, such as a lengthy and determinate (no chance of parole) prison sentence.

Some common penalties that may arise include:

R

Common Penalty 1

You could be ordered to serve a determinate prison sentence of 5 years, even if you have never been convicted of a crime in the past.

R

Common Penalty 2

You could be ordered to serve a determinate prison sentence of at least 10 years, if you have been convicted of another violent crime in the past 10 years.

R

Common Penalty 3

You could face 25 years to life in prison if you are convicted of certain very serious sexual assault chargers or murder. After serving the 25 years, a parole board would then determine how much more time in prison you must serve.
