Violent crimes are treated with the utmost seriousness in Maryland. The penalties can be severe, posing potential long-term consequences for your rights, freedom and future.

I am Paul R. Kramer, founding attorney of Paul R. Kramer, LLC, in Baltimore, and I bring my experience as a former prosecutor to every case I handle. With a commitment to thorough preparation and strategic advocacy, I will fight tirelessly to defend you against serious violent crime charges.

Understanding Violent Crimes

Violent crimes are offenses where physical harm, or the threat of such harm, is inflicted upon another person. Under Maryland law, they are considered particularly egregious due to their impact on victims and the community. As a result, prosecutors aggressively pursue these cases, often seeking maximum penalties.

A conviction for a violent crime can lead to years in prison, extremely expensive fines or both. Each case is unique, and understanding the specific legal definitions and the possible consequences is essential when building a defense.

Types Of Violent Crimes

In Maryland, many acts can be classified as violent crimes, each carrying severe penalties. These offenses include but are not limited to:

  • Murder: Penalties include life imprisonment or even the death penalty, depending on the circumstances.
  • Assault: Felony assault convictions can result in 10 to 25 years in prison, depending on the severity of associated injuries.
  • Carjacking: Courts treat this offense harshly, often imposing prison sentences approaching 30 years.
  • Robbery: Considered a violent crime under Maryland law and is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

If convicted, these charges can leave a lasting impact on your life, making it crucial to seek competent legal defense immediately.

Reducing Or Dismissing Violent Crime Charges

It may be possible to have violent crime charges reduced or dismissed through skilled legal advocacy. On your behalf, your lawyer can challenge the evidence, present mitigating factors and negotiate with prosecutors.

At Paul R. Kramer, LLC, I carefully examine every detail of each case to develop the strongest possible defense strategy. My prior experience as a prosecutor means I understand how criminal courts work and how to counter prosecutor arguments.
