Sex Crimes

Sex crimes involve non-consensual sexual acts or behaviors that exploit others sexually. These offenses include rape, sexual assault, child molestation, indecent exposure, prostitution-related offenses, possession or distribution of child pornography, and public solicitation for sex acts. Sex crime cases are often complex due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter involved.

Violent Crimes

Violent crimes encompass a broad category of offenses in which force or threat of force is used against another person. Examples include murder, manslaughter, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, aggravated assault, robbery, and domestic violence incidents resulting in injury.

Drug Crimes

Drug crimes can vary greatly in severity depending on factors such as the type and quantity of drugs involved. Common drug charges may include possession, distribution, trafficking, and manufacturing. Sentences for drug convictions can range from probation to lengthy imprisonment.

DUI/DWI

Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) refers to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both. These offenses are taken seriously as they pose significant risks to public safety. Penalties for DUI/DWI can include fines, license suspension, revocation, substance abuse programs, and probationary periods with court-required monitoring.

Weapons Crimes

Weapons crimes involve the possession, use, and sale of illegal firearms equipment that may be dangerous or deadly if not used responsibly and within legal boundaries. Examples of weapons-related charges include but are not limited to illegal possession of firearms, and carrying concealed weapons without proper permits and licenses.

White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes typically refer to non-violent offenses committed in business or professional settings that involve deception, fraud, and misappropriation schemes aimed at financial gain. Common white-collar offenses include embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion, securities fraud, and insider trading. Prosecution of these acts often requires extensive investigation into complex financial transactions, documents, and accounts.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a form of abuse that occurs within intimate relationships, such as marriage, dating partnerships, or cohabitation. It involves the use of physical violence, emotional manipulation, coercion, intimidation, or control by one person towards another to gain power and control. Acts of domestic violence can take various forms ranging from physical assault, including hitting, kicking, and choking, to sexual abuse, emotional manipulation, financial exploitation, and verbal harassment.
