Violent crimes involve the use or threat of force against another person. In Georgia, these offenses vary in severity but are prosecuted aggressively. Our firm defends clients against a wide range of violent crime charges, including:

• Aggravated Assault – Using a deadly weapon or acting with intent to murder, rape, or rob.
• Battery – Intentionally causing substantial physical harm or visible bodily injury.
• Armed Robbery – Taking property from another by use of a weapon or threat of violence.
• Obstruction of Law Enforcement – Interfering with police by force or knowingly providing false information.
• Cruelty to Children – Causing physical or mental harm to a child through action or neglect.
• Elder Abuse – Physical abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of an elderly or disabled person.
• Kidnapping – Unlawfully removing or confining a person against their will.
• False Imprisonment – Detaining someone without legal authority.

Each of these offenses can be charged as a felony, with penalties that may be increased based on factors such as the victim’s age, prior criminal history, or the use of a weapon.
