Assault & Violent Crimes
Aggressive Defense When the Stakes Are Highest
Allegations of assault or other violent crimes can carry some of the most severe consequences in the criminal justice system — including long prison sentences, permanent felony records, and irreparable harm to your personal and professional life. At Jacob S. Solkoff, LLC, we take these cases seriously from the moment you contact us. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor assault or a major felony like armed robbery or homicide, we provide strong, experienced, and strategic defense.
Being charged with a violent crime doesn’t mean you’re guilty. Many of these cases are based on unclear evidence, conflicting witness statements, or emotionally charged situations where both parties were acting in self-defense. We’re here to uncover the full story and fight for your rights.
Violent Crimes We Defend
Our firm represents clients facing a wide range of assault and violent crime charges, including:
- Simple and aggravated assault
- Battery and domestic violence
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Armed robbery
- Home invasion
- Homicide / manslaughter / murder
- Kidnapping and false imprisonment
- Stalking and harassment
- Assault on a police officer
- Gang-related or firearm-enhanced charges
These cases are often emotionally charged and heavily scrutinized by prosecutors and the media. You need an advocate who will defend your rights both in and out of the courtroom.
Building a Strong Defense Strategy
Violent crime cases often come down to the credibility of the evidence. We conduct a thorough investigation and challenge the prosecution at every stage. Defense strategies may include:
- Self-defense or defense of others
- Mutual combat or consent in the altercation
- Lack of intent to cause harm
- Mistaken identity or false accusation
- Insufficient or conflicting evidence
- Police misconduct or improper investigation
We also work with forensic experts, private investigators, and mental health professionals when appropriate to strengthen your defense and tell your side of the story.
Domestic Violence Allegations
Domestic violence cases are often filed quickly — sometimes with limited evidence or after one-sided accounts. A single argument or misunderstanding can lead to serious criminal charges and protective orders that impact your rights to see your family or return to your home. We fight false or exaggerated claims, work to lift no-contact orders, and help protect your reputation.
What You’re Facing if Convicted
The consequences of a conviction for a violent crime can be life-altering:
- Years — even decades — in state prison
- Felony record with long-term impact on jobs, housing, and civil rights
- Mandatory minimum sentences (especially in firearm cases)
- Probation with restrictive terms and conditions
- Loss of gun rights and voting rights
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
When your freedom is on the line, there is no room for mistakes. We bring trial-ready preparation to every case.
