I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.
Examples of Violent Crimes
September 24, 2021
Violent crimes are utterly unacceptable in any society. The legal system must protect the public and punish those who commit these deplorable acts of violence. We’ll look at examples of violent crime, how you can fight back against them with a Tampa criminal federal defense attorney, and what you need to know if you find yourself being accused of committing one.
Definition of Violent Crimes
Violent crimes are among the most heinous of the crime classifications. In Florida, there are several different types of violent crimes that take place every day. Violent crime is defined as any act in which one person intentionally commits an act and effectually causes or attempts to cause physical injury to another person or where they threaten someone with imminent bodily harm to their life.
Examples of Violent Crimes
Examples of violent crimes include assaults, battery, robbery, and murder. In Florida, these crimes are often based on intent and happen when either the violence is the object of the crime itself or when the violence occurs as a means to an end. How these things are handled in court depends on who is involved, the result of the crime, how severe a victim’s injuries were, and more.

Many violent crimes carry a felony tag upon conviction.
