Aggressive criminal defense on serious charges
If charged with an Decatur homicide, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to handle your case immediately. Faced with serious consequences – specifically, loss of freedom and a long jail term – an attorney with proven courtroom ability, such as James D. Michael, P.C., is essential to a successful defense.
Penalties and possible defenses for violent crimes
Penalties in Georgia for violent crimes vary, depending on whether the accused is a first-time offender, has a criminal background or used a weapon during the alleged commission of the crime, among other factors. The defense selected has significant consequences and can result in dismissal or reduction of criminal charges.
A variety of defenses for violent crimes include self-defense, defense of home, and defense of others. Because not all defenses are available to all crimes, you should hire a skilled defense attorney, in particular for murders in Decatur. Mitigating circumstances, or factors that can lessen the charge and punishment, are applicable if someone is provoked. Battery and domestic violence offenses may not involve weapons, but they can involve allegations of illegal physical contact even when no injury is present.
