A violent crime is any offense in which an individual uses or threatens to use force against another person. Rape, assault and murder are among some of the most common violent crimes for which charges are brought up in state and federal courts.
Violent crimes may be filed as misdemeanor or felony charges. Should an accused individual be convicted of a violent crime, he or she may face a range of serious, potentially life-altering penalties, including prison time, expensive fines, permanent marks on his or her criminal record, and/or loss of career and personal relationships. In the worst cases, those convicted of violent crimes in North Carolina can be sentenced to death.

Building You the Strongest Possible Defense
