Violent crimes are among the most serious crimes in Florida. They include aggravated assault, aggravated battery, arson, kidnapping, rape, manslaughter, and murder (first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree). Other violent crimes include:

  • Affray
  • Using bombs and explosives
  • Carjacking
  • Crimes against children
  • Criminal mischief
  • Extortion
  • False imprisonment
  • Gun charges
  • Hate crimes
  • Resisting arrest with violence
  • Robbery
  • Sexual crimes
  • Vandalism

Of all violent crimes, murder and manslaughter are the most serious since they involve the death of another human being. Such crimes can result in lengthy prison sentences or even a sentence of death for the person convicted.

If you are charged with such a crime, you need an experienced trial lawyer like Ronald Chapman who will thoroughly investigate your case and vigorously defend you.

Dear Mr. Chapman, I am writing you to say thank you so very much for all your hard work and late nights on my court case. You are a blessing in disguise. I want to thank you for putting on your boxing gloves and going into battle for me. I was facing an extreme amount of prison time, and you were able to resolve this issue with no jail time so I can get back to my kids and family. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and if you don’t mind I would truly love to recommend you to some friends and family that are in the court system and are not being treated Fair. I really believe that you could really help them like you helped me with your many skills and expertise in being a Universal lawyer. You will truly help them just like you helped me. I will be reaching out to you soon again and thank you so very much and look forward to my call.
G. Jenkins!!!!!!
