Violent crimes defense

With more than 60 years of combined experience in the courtroom, our founder Lance Sandage and his team know how to represent you. We take the time to carefully review every detail of your violent crimes case, including how the police handled your arrest and the evidence they’re using against you.

We understand that each case is unique, so we work with you to create a defense strategy that fits your circumstances. This includes identifying any mistakes or violations made by law enforcement, questioning the credibility of witnesses, and analyzing forensic evidence. Our approach is thorough because we know that the stakes are high - your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line.

 The consequences of not having skilled violent crimes representation

Facing violent crime charges without skilled legal representation can lead to devastating consequences. Without an experienced attorney you could face:

Severe Penalties: You could face the maximum penalties, including long-term imprisonment, substantial fines, and, in the most serious cases, life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

Unchallenged Evidence: Critical evidence may go unchallenged, even if it was obtained unlawfully or is unreliable, increasing the likelihood of conviction.

Reduced Defense Opportunities: Opportunities to challenge the prosecution’s case or negotiate plea deals could be missed, leading to harsher sentencing.

Permanent Criminal Record: A conviction for a violent crime can result in a permanent criminal record, affecting your future employment opportunities, housing options, and civil rights.

Life-Altering Consequences: Beyond the legal penalties, a violent crime conviction can irreparably damage your reputation, relationships, and overall quality of life.

By working closely with you, we aim to uncover any facts that could lead to reduced charges, a dismissal of the case, or an acquittal at trial. At Sandage Law, we are committed to standing by you every step of the way, providing the strong defense you need to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case.

Common violent crimes we defend

Sandage Law defends for a wide range of violent crime charges, including:

Assault and Battery: Charges involving physical harm or threats of harm to another person. We work to uncover the facts and present defenses like self-defense or lack of intent.

Robbery: The use of force or intimidation to take property from another person. Our defense strategy includes challenging the identification of the perpetrator and questioning the reliability of the evidence.

Homicide and Manslaughter: Cases involving the death of another person, whether intentional or accidental. We investigate all aspects of the case, from forensic evidence to witness testimony, to construct a strong defense.

Domestic Violence: Allegations of violence within the home or between intimate partners. We handle these sensitive cases with care, ensuring that the full context is considered and your rights are protected.

Kidnapping: Charges of unlawfully detaining or moving another person against their will. Our approach includes challenging the prosecution’s evidence and exploring all potential defenses,  including consent or misidentification.

Weapons Charges: Crimes involving the illegal possession or use of firearms or other weapons. We examine whether law enforcement followed proper procedures in seizing the weapon and whether your rights were violated.
