Champaign Violent Crimes Lawyer

If you have been charged with a violent crime in Illinois,  you need to contact a skilled Champaign violent crime lawyer immediately to discuss your case. A violent crime involves any criminal act in which a person uses force, or threatens to use force, upon a victim.

What is considered a violent crime?

There are a number of criminal charges that can be considered a violent crime, including:

  • Domestic violence
  • Manslaughter
  • Murder
  • Arson
  • Assault and battery
  • Certain sex crimes, such as rape
  • Certain theft crimes, such as robbery

Violent crimes are among the most concerning criminal offenses because they directly threaten the safety and well-being of people. According to statistics published by the FBI, a violent crime occurred every 25.3 seconds in the United States in 2010. Additionally, one murder occurred every 35 minutes, one robbery every 1.4 minutes and one aggravated assault every 40.5 seconds. These statistics are nothing short of alarming, and are the primary reason why law enforcement agencies and court systems have cracked down on enforcing violent crime laws, aggressively prosecuting offenders, and pushing for the harshest criminal penalties.

Anyone accused of a violent crime will immediately face a hostile social and legal environment. As some of the most serious criminal offenses, these crimes are viewed unfavorably, which can also impact cases and trials. In order to protect yourself from bias and to ensure that your right to a fair case is protected, you need to work with the knowledgeable, experienced and aggressive Champaign violent crimes attorney from Patel Law, PC.
