Violent Crimes Charge or Arrest in Houston

Violent crimes occur when someone inflicts bodily injury or death on another or commits a sexual assault, kidnapping, or aggravated robbery. Motivated by the pressing need to take violent criminals off the street, law enforcement officials and the District Attorney’s Office may compromise individuals’ constitutional rights in the interest of public safety. If you have been accused of a violent crime in Houston or the Galveston area you need an attorney who will stand up for your personal rights.

Each year, the government toughens its stance on fighting violent crime. Recently, the Justice Department allocated millions of dollars in new funding to hire more local police and send a surge of federal agents to troubled areas. New legislation has made it easier for federal investigators and prosecutors to subject violent crime offenders to longer sentences. This creates a need for skilled criminal defense attorneys to uphold the constitutional rights of defendants who are arrested in connection with such crimes.

Violent crimes carry the heaviest prison and fine penalties in the criminal justice system. If you or a loved one has been arrested for a violent crime, contact Attorney Tad Nelson to secure the defense you need to protect your legal rights. Law enforcement officials as well as the District Attorney’s office are highly motivated by victims’ rights when prosecuting violent crime charges because there is often a public outcry for justice. That does not mean that the government can take away the liberties of citizens without providing a fair trial. The best way to ensure a fair trial is to hire an attorney who has the skills to take on the District Attorney’s Office with confidence.
