Facing charges for violent crimes?
What Are Violent Crimes?
Violent crimes in Florida generally involve the use or threat of force against another person. Under various Florida statutes, including Chapters 782 and 784, these offenses can carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.
Crimes commonly classified as violent include:
- Assault and aggravated assault
- Battery and aggravated battery
- Domestic violence
- Robbery
- Kidnapping
- Murder or attempted murder
- Vehicular manslaughter
- Weapons offenses
Even the threat of violence can result in criminal charges, depending on the circumstances.
Penalties for Violent Crimes in Florida
Violent crime convictions often result in severe consequences, such as:
- Long-term prison sentences
- Mandatory minimum sentencing
- Probation and fines
- Permanent felony record
- Loss of civil rights
Florida’s sentencing laws, including mandatory minimums, can limit judicial discretion. This makes it critical to build a strong defense as early as possible.
There Are Many Possible Defense Strategies
Every violent crime case is different, and the right defense depends on the facts and evidence involved.
Attorney Haas may use defense strategies such as:
- Self-defense or defense of others
- Lack of intent or mistaken identity
- Insufficient or unreliable evidence
- Violation of constitutional rights
- Challenging witness credibility
In some cases, it may be possible to have charges reduced or reclassified to avoid the harshest penalties.

Violent crime cases in Fort Lauderdale are handled aggressively by prosecutors and law enforcement agencies. These cases often involve:
- Detailed investigations
- Witness testimony
- Forensic evidence

Attorney Haas understands how Broward County courts operate and uses this knowledge to anticipate prosecution strategies and build effective defenses.
