The state of North Carolina classifies violent crimes by class, which associates the severity of the crime to the type of sentence assigned. For instance a street fight is typically considered a low class misdemeanor, for which a client may receive a year of probation and be required to pay a fine. More serious violent crimes that result in injuries or property damage will be more severely punished. The occurrence of threats, witness testimony, as well as other circumstantial evidence can and will be used by the prosecution to put a defendant in jail.

Choosing an experienced Raleigh criminal attorney can be the best decision you make following being arrested for a crime. Here at the law office of the Raleigh Criminal Attorney, we believe in more than just representing our clients in court, but fighting their criminal charges and protecting their legal rights.
