Violent Crimes in Delaware
Misdemeanor Charges Should be Taken Very Seriously
Violent crimes may be charged at the misdemeanor or felony level. However, even misdemeanor charges should be taken very seriously. A conviction can lead to jail time, fines, and probation, among other consequences. In addition, having a criminal record increases the odds that the prosecution will seek maximum penalties if you are ever charged with a crime again in the future.

A violent crimes charge can occur as the result of a mistake or misunderstanding. However, a skilled defense attorney will work to understand the entire context of your situation and help you attain the best possible outcome.
