Assault & Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Crimes that result in physical injury to a person or threats of physical violence carry significant criminal penalties. If you have been charged with a violent crime, you want the best attorney you can find.
Our attorney, Camille M. Hicks, has earned a reputation for skilled trial advocacy and a willingness to take criminal cases to trial. Our firm takes a limited number of cases, so that we can give each case the time and attention it deserves.
Domestic Violence
If you were arrested for domestic violence and think your case will simply go away because you and your spouse or lover have made up, think again. While prosecutors dismiss a limited number of cases, they can and often do proceed to trial in cases where the victim does not want to pursue a criminal conviction.
Prosecutors have the right to subpoena the victim to testify at trial. If the victim does not come to trial to testify, the victim can be arrested and charged with a crime for failing to obey the subpoena.
Depending on the severity of injuries sustained by the victim, the level of punishment sought by the prosecution and the sentencing preferences of the judge that presides in your case, you could serve jail time for a first offense. In addition to the possibility of jail time, a conviction will result in a criminal conviction and the possibility of court-ordered anger management counseling, loss of your right to own a firearm, the issuance of a restraining order and a significant period of incarceration.
