Violent Crimes

Orlando and Central Florida: Violent Crimes Defense Attorneys

Fighting for Your Rights and Freedom in Florida State and Federal Courts

If an accused is charged with a violent crime, usually categorized as a felony offense in which a victim has sustained injuries, it is likely that the prosecutor and judge are going to devote significant resources in trying and sentencing the case.

Felony violent crimes will generally be sentenced according to the Florida Sentencing Guidelines. The guidelines allow victim injury points to be added to the points of the crime itself. This may result in an automatic prison sentence for a conviction, even if the accused is a first-time offender.

If a weapon is involved, this may result in additional recommended prison time.

If you, a friend or a loved one is charged with a violent crime, it is important that you have a thorough understanding of every part of your case and the process your case will take through the criminal justice system. Contact the attorneys at Carsten & Ladan, P.A. for a free and confidential analysis of your particular case.

Florida uses a point system as part of its sentencing guidelines. Points are calculated based upon the number of victims injured, the severity of the injuries, as well as other factors, including repeat offenders, legal status, weapons used, etc. The tallied points affects your prison sentence, i.e., the higher the point total, the longer the prison sentence.
