Ohio Violent Crimes Lawyers

Trusted Advocates When the Stakes are High

In the universe of the criminal justice system, violent crimes — including assault, aggravated assault robbery and murder — carry the greatest potential penalties. In both Kentucky and Ohio, people charged with violent crimes face the very real possibility of serious prison time if convicted.

For serious criminal cases like charges involving violent crimes, choose a criminal defense law firm where the attorneys have both the experience and the dedication that make you confident about placing your future and your freedom in their hands. Our experience includes high profile murder cases, including trials.

Plea Bargaining in Violent Crimes Cases: Depending on the facts of the specific case, plea bargaining can be an effective tool to reduce either the charges or the sentence. Fox & Scott, PLLC was recently able to obtain a plea bargain to a reduced charge on behalf of a client originally charged with a stabbing crime. The original charge carried a sentence of 20 years in prison. We were able to obtain a result whereby the client will serve nine years' probation — and no prison time.

Use Your Constitutional Right to Remain Silent

Almost without exception, people arrested for a crime talk too much. You may think you are explaining the situation and helping yourself out, but your statements will be used against you. The police get paid to arrest people and find evidence of guilt, not to be your friend.

If you are arrested or questioned in connection with a violent crime, say nothing except your name and insist on your right to call a lawyer. The criminal defense lawyers at Fox & Scott, PLLC, are available 24/7 to take urgent calls, and the initial consultation is free.
