Violent Crime Charge
The stakes are high in these cases. When violence is involved, there is always the possibility of jail or even prison time. However, there may also be a wide variety of defense strategies that could be used. Our lawyers have the experience and proven ability to successfully challenge the strength of every aspect of the prosecution’s case, including the credibility of witnesses, the reliability of forensic evidence, and the testimony of expert witnesses.

If you are charged with a violent crime in Fairfax County or elsewhere in Northern Virginia, it may mean that the police have only heard, or chose to believe, one side. If you are trying to find the best criminal defense lawyer in the Fairfax area to represent you on such a case, it is essential to look for an attorney who has the ability to effectively present your side as well. It is possible your actions can be justified by self-defense, defense of others, or mutual combat. Maybe you were present at the scene of a crime but did not participate, or maybe you are simply wrongly accused in a case of false or mistaken eyewitness identification testimony. Even when the evidence against you is strong and there is no legal excuse for what happened, you still need a good criminal defense attorney to help explain what happened by offering evidence and argument of the mitigating circumstances of the offense. Our lawyers know how to analyze and pursue all options in order to fight charges of assault and other violent crimes, and we know how to get the best result possible in any type of criminal case.
