Violent crimes also include other offenses that are felonies and crimes where the suspect threatens to use physical force against another person.

The punishment for violent crime convictions vary based on whether the defendant is a repeat offender, where the offense took place, or whether a firearm or other weapon was used during the offense. For example, a misdemeanor assault becomes a third-degree felony assault when committed with a weapon. The variation in penalties is why it's so crucial to provide your side of the story.
Threats of violence to a person, from domestic abuse to robbery, are classified as “simple assault,” and are the least severe violent crime charges in Florida. However, a conviction for a violent crime is a permanent part of your criminal record, so even a conviction here could cost you a lifetime of employment or living opportunities. Defending your innocence is vital, no matter the case.
At Rudenberg and Glasser, P.A., we know there are two sides to every story.
