Oakland County Violent Crimes Attorney
What are Violent Crimes?
Violent crimes is an umbrella category which, in Michigan, refers to crimes
defined in a wide variety of code sections.
A violent crime is more severe than most crimes where force or violence is not used. In addition, a charge usually classified as a misdemeanor may become more serious—and receive a more serious penalty—if violence is involved.

What are the Penalties for Violent Crimes?
Any of these charges can have dire consequences. Some violent crimes, such as first-degree murder, earn a life sentence in prison. Murder in the second degree and rape earn a term in prison set by the discretion of a judge. Aggravated assault has a minimum sentence of two years. Even before the trial, the accusation is a heavy burden to bear alone.
