Violent Crimes in California

The scope of violent crimes is broad, and can include everything from assault and battery to domestic violence to sex crimes to murder. But violent crimes can also be narrowly targeted criminal allegations that include cases like these: 

Dissuading a Witness or Victim

Deterring a witness or victim from testifying can manifest several ways, including an act of murder or assault on a witness or their family and friends. A defendant may also be accused of bribing a witness not to testify at trial. When clients are charged with this, and other violent crimes, they need reliable legal counsel. Saffari Law Group serves the entire state of California. Call us at (310) 341-7970 or fill out our online contact form to set up a free consultation.

Gang Enhancements

In Los Angeles County, labeling Black and Latino men as "documented" or "admitted" gang members has been an issue of great concern for over two decades. The charge of gang membership can have a deeply negative impact on the life of defendants. It can stand as a separate crime unto itself, or it can be used a tool for sentencing enhancement with other crimes. It must be fought by a passionate and committed Los Angeles violent crimes attorney, like what clients find at Saffari Law Group. 

Kidnapping

Punishments for kidnapping offenses in Los Angeles County are among the most severe. The District Attorney's Office can be especially proactive in prosecuting this crime. The consequences of conviction may include life imprisonment without parole, and even death sentences are not off the table in the state of California. 

Shooting Crimes

Misdemeanor shooting charges may be given for offenses such as improper discharge of a firearm, brandishing a gun in public without intent to harm anyone, or accidental discharges resulting in property damage but not injury. On the other hand, felony charges are typically reserved for instances involving an intentional or reckless discharge of a firearm resulting in injuring another person or causing death. Felony convictions can result in sentences that could range from several years up to life in prison.
