Violent Crimes


Being convicted or even just arrested for a violent crime can have lasting effects on your life and freedom. A conviction for a violent offense could cause a person to lose their right to vote or own a firearm. A felony conviction could stay on your permanent record for ever. Contact our Violent crime attorney in Illinois to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Violent crimes are offenses which involve a violent act against a person, or put someone in the position to be subjected to violence. Many times, victims of violent crimes have been hurt, but injury is not an element of the offense in all circumstances.

Sometimes a gun or other weapon is involved. However, use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon could be an aggravating factor to increase potential sentences. In Illinois many violent crimes require a mandatory prison sentence upon conviction with no chance for probation. Also, if a firearm is used in the commission of some violent crimes, it adds an additional 15 years in prison to the sentence. In other words, the minimum sentence upon conviction for several violent offenses committed with a firearm is 21 years in prison which can be reduced to a much lesser setnence by hiring a Violent crime attorney in Illinois..
