Types of Violent Crime Charges in Fairfax

The severity of violent crimes may vary based on the circumstances, the injuries suffered by alleged victims, and other factors. However, each offense will require a strong legal defense, since a conviction is likely to result in serious penalties that may include large fines and a lengthy prison sentence.. Robinson Law, PLLC can assist with violent crimes such as:

• Assault and Battery: These charges involve physical harm or threats of harm to another person. Penalties can range from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the circumstances.
• Threats of Bodily Injury or Death: Making credible threats, even without taking physical action, can result in criminal charges.
• Malicious Wounding: This serious offense includes inflicting significant bodily harm with intent, and it will often result in felony charges.
• Strangulation: Choking someone or preventing them from breathing is regarded as a dangerous and potentially deadly act, and this offense carries severe legal consequences under Virginia law.
• Domestic Violence: Allegations of violence against family members or other people living in a person's household may lead to both criminal charges and civil proceedings that may affect child custody or other aspects of family relationships.
• Stalking or Harassment by Computer: Repeated, unwanted communication or actions that allegedly caused a person to experience fear or emotional distress may lead to criminal charges.

Protective Orders in Violent Crime Cases

When a person is accused of a violent crime, a court may issue a protective order to safeguard the alleged victim or victims. These orders are common in cases involving allegations of domestic violence. A protective order can prohibit the accused from contacting or approaching the protected party, and violations of protective orders can result in additional criminal charges.

Protective orders can be temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances of a case and the court's determination of whether ongoing protections are needed. A person who is charged with violating a protective order may face significant penalties, including fines and additional jail time, and their actions could also affect the outcome of an ongoing violent crime case. At Robinson Law, PLLC, we can help address protective orders, working to limit the impact that they may have on a person's life, and we can also help defend against accusations that a person has violated the terms of an order.
