Violent Crimes and Weapons Charges

SW Florida Violent Crimes Defense

Not all felonies are the same in the eyes of the law. Not all lawyers are the same either. If you have been charged with a violent offense or with using a weapon while committing a crime—even if you are a first-time offender—Florida's three-strikes law for violent repeat offenders makes having an experienced criminal defense attorney essential.

At Charles M. Harris P.A., I have spent my entire public career as an attorney handling ONLY criminal defense. My practice has included everything from cases of road rage and DUI defense to drug trafficking and murder. Some of the specific types of violent crimes and weapons charges I defend clients against include:

  • DUI-related vehicular homicide
  • Manslaughter / involuntary manslaughter
  • Domestic violence
  • Assault and battery / aggravated assault
  • Robbery / armed burglary
  • Sexual assaults / rape
  • Arson
  • Kidnapping
  • Murder / homicide
  • Possession of unregistered firearms
  • Possession of stolen or altered firearms

All of these charges are extremely serious and can carry severe sentences. However, under Florida's three-strikes law, convictions for violent crimes now carry mandatory minimum sentences that can range anywhere from a five-year sentence to life in prison. As your lawyer, I will provide you with an aggressive defense against these charges and challenge the evidence at every possible opportunity. I understand what you have at stake and will spare no effort or resource in trying to achieve a favorable outcome.
