Defending People Accused of Violent Crimes
Accusations of a violent crime are often the most difficult charges a person has to face. Unlike many other types of crimes, these cases often involve split-second decisions and emotionally charged situations that can lead to serious consequences.
At the Adkinson Law Firm, LLC, we understand this. That is why we work diligently to defend people accused of violent crimes. Using 30 years of experience and knowledge, our attorneys have represented people charged with a wide range of offenses, including:
- Murder/Manslaughter
- Aggravated Battery/Aggravated Assault
- Domestic Violence, including Battery and Assault
- Robbery and Burglary
- Crimes involving Firearms and other Weapons
Life-Changing Consequences — Domestic Violence Charges
When violence is alleged to have occurred between two people who are related or are in a relationship, Florida law refers to these cases as domestic violence. In addition to the penalties that are associated with these crimes, domestic violence cases can carry additional penalties, such as no contact orders between people. Often the prohibition against two people having contact can have a great impact on both individuals' lives — whether it is work or job loss, child care issues, or daily matters such as finances. Contacting an experienced lawyer to help you through these cases is often necessary to help achieve a fast and fair resolution to your case.
Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law"
In 2005, Florida enacted a law that is now commonly referred to as the "Stand Your Ground" law. This is often a self defense, or justifiable use of force, argument that can be advanced on your behalf in defense of many violent crimes. If you believe you were justified in defending yourself or others, and have been charged with a crime because of your actions, hiring an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in this defense is often the best way to defend your rights.
