Fort Lauderdale Violent Crime Lawyer

Defense for Violent Criminal Offenses

A conviction for a violent crime may result in a lifetime behind bars, or even in some cases capital punishment (also known as the death penalty). Only an attorney who has extensive knowledge of the state and federal criminal court systems will have the greatest chance of securing the best possible outcome for a case of this kind. If you are under investigation for a violent crime or have already been arrested and charged, it is very important to utilize the legal skill of an experienced lawyer.

Hesitating in making the decision to hire - or failing to hire - a competent Fort Lauderdale violent crime attorney can severely impact the outcome of your case, potentially in such a way as to result in a guilty verdict, heavy penalties, an unfair plea bargain or other disastrous result. This is because critical time may be lost which could have been used by your lawyer to secure favorable evidence and information that could have had a positive impact in your defense. Whenever you face a violent crime charge you can expect that the prosecutors and law enforcement will work hard to build a very strong case against you. In order to protect yourself, you must seek the best possible legal representation.

Many people are surprised to learn that kidnapping charges, hate crimes, and other criminal charges are considered to be of a violent nature. Along with the more commonly assumed acts of violence such as murder, manslaughter, and battery, many other violent crimes exist that could easily result in serious penalties. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors are both quick to accuse and prosecute individuals suspected of a crime that involved violence. Their overzealous desire to convict could quickly lead to a guilty sentence, and without the right legal representation by your side this is will almost surely happen. Therefore, aligning yourself with a Fort Lauderdale violent crimes attorney with ample experience and knowledge could hugely impact the results of your case for the better. In cases of violent criminal accusations, nothing but the most aggressive legal defense will do.

At the Law Office of Marshall Geisser, we believe in vigorously defending our clients' rights and interests as we handle their violent crime cases. Much is at stake in these matters, and we take this to heart as we work tirelessly to investigate the source of a client's charges and then determine the best course of action to take to challenge these inside and outside of the courtroom. We have found that even in seemingly hopeless cases, there may have been a mistake made by an officer at the scene or evidence that was mishandled by a lab technician that can turn an entire case around in our client's favor. That is why we never give up the fight to protect our clients' constitutional rights in the face of any criminal investigation or formal charge for any type of violent crime. We represent clients throughout the Fort Lauderdale area and are ready to see how we can provide you with the hard-hitting attorney representation you need.

With a foundation of more than two decades of legal experience, we provide unwavering defense counsel for clients accused of any type of felony or misdemeanor violent crime in the Fort Lauderdale area.

We represent adult and juvenile offenders in state and federal court. Cases of this kind have the potential to be highly volatile. Juries are quicker to find guilt when there is a victim claiming that you caused physical injury or other harm.
