Tucson Assault & Violent Crime Lawyer

Committed to Your Defense in Pima County & Throughout Arizona

Violent crimes are those that involve the use of force or a threat to use force on another person. The courts take these types of crimes very seriously due to their aggressive nature against the alleged victims. Thus, a conviction can result in severe penalties ranging from jail or prison time to hefty fines, long periods of probation, and more. A conviction will also result in a criminal record that is easily accessible on background checks by future employers, landlords, and the public at large; these records can disqualify you for future opportunities because of your appearance as someone who engages in violence against the innocent. To avoid or minimize these harsh consequences, you will need the services of a competent and dedicated criminal defense lawyer.
