Fort Lauderdale Hate Crimes Lawyer

A hate crime is the victimization of another because of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, age or political affiliation. Many hate crimes are considered violent crimes in Florida and will be severely punished. A hate crime can have a huge, lasting impact on someone else’s life. In some instances, assault and battery or murder may take place during the commission of a hate crime. If you are facing accusations for a hate crime in Fort Lauderdale, Florida please contact the Law Office of Marshall Geisser today.

Violent Crimes Attorney in Florida

Violence does not need to take place for someone to be charged with a hate crime. Simply harassing and/or verbally assaulting someone may be grounds for a hate crime to be charged. Also, many hate crimes involve vandalism of property in an effort to scare a community and raise fear within a person. A hate crime conviction can carry a maximum life sentence or, in some cases, the death penalty. In addition you may be required to pay a fine, serve community service and may have your driver’s license suspended. A judge may also sentence you to probation and parole.

Being charged with a hate crime is often very complex and frustrating. You may not know where to turn. In order for an individual to be convicted, it must be proven that “hate” was the main force behind the criminal act committed. As a professional Fort Lauderdale hate crimes lawyer, with skill and experience in handling hate crimes cases, I am committed to working to obtain a win for my clients’ hate crimes cases. I will challenge evidence presented by the prosecution in an effort to have it thrown out of court. I will also look to have charges lowered or dismissed whenever possible.
