Types of Violent Crimes

Davis Law Group has helped countless Flint residents achieve positive outcomes for their violent crime cases. Our firm can defend you if you are accused of any type of violent crime. Some of the most common violent crimes we handle include:

  • Assault and battery – The intentional attempt to harm another person is known as assault. Battery, on the other hand, is when actual force is used against another person. Since someone may attempt to harm someone without actually using physical force, they may only be charged with assault. However, the majority of the time, assault and battery are charged together because battery generally comes after assault.
  • Child abuse – Michigan views child abuse as non-accidental physical or mental harm to a child. Parents, teachers, and even clergy members may be accused of child abuse. This offense may include sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, and intentional physical or mental injury.
  • Domestic violence – Domestic violence exists when assault and/or battery is committed to a spouse, former spouse, the parent of a child, or a boyfriend or girlfriend.
  • Murder – First degree, second degree, and felony murder are some of the most serious crimes in Michigan and can lead to a life in prison. Depending on the specifics of the murder case, parole may or may not be an option.
  • Manslaughter – Voluntary manslaughter is when someone kills another human being intentionally. Involuntary manslaughter refers to killing someone unintentionally while committing a misdemeanor or felony. Both instances can lead to lofty fines and years in prison.
