If you have been charged with a violent crime, ranging from simple or aggravated assault to sexual battery, robbery or homicide in Panama City, Florida, or the surrounding area, your future is on the line as never before. We encourage you to contact us for honest counsel and aggressive defense of your rights.
Violent crimes, as well as sex crimes, often attract public attention and are handled with special diligence and aggressiveness by prosecutors. As former assistant state attorney, I understand this part of the dynamic. I also have a firm grasp of many strategies and approaches that can disrupt or challenge the case against you.
Aggressive, Resourceful Lawyers Who Put the Pressure on Prosecutors
Recognizing that you may face severe, potentially lifelong consequences including jail or prison time, we will pursue all viable angles on your violent crime case. Whatever the charge — and however worthy of sympathy the victim may be — it is important to remember that it is the prosecution that must prove its case.
We have the investigative savvy and case-building skill to raise serious doubts in your case involving:
- Mistaken identity or false allegations, often refutable by the presentation of credible alibi witnesses
- A lack of the physical evidence required for a conviction
- Questionable DNA or forensic evidence
- Your commission of a violent act in self-defense, in which case Florida's "stand your ground" law may apply
