Violent Crimes & Assault

A Missouri Violent Crime Defense Lawyer

The more serious the charge, the more critical it is to retain an attorney with whom you feel comfortable. If you are charged with a felony offense involving a violent crime, it is vital that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney who will fight to obtain the best possible result in your case.

At The Hammer Law Firm, we provide experienced, strategic and aggressive representation on behalf of clients charged with state and federal crimes. We handle all violent crimes charges, including capital murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, assault with a deadly weapon, bank robbery, kidnapping, gang crimes, armed robbery and sexual assault.

A Dedicated Advocate and Experienced Trial Lawyer

Prosecutors see it as their job to protect the public. As agents of the state, they will aggressively seek the maximum penalty that may be imposed by law if they believe that you willfully committed a violent crime and are a serious risk to the public.

Because violent crimes carry severe criminal penalties, including significant jail and prison sentences, you need an attorney who is just as committed to the protection of your liberty as the prosecution is to your punishment.

At The Hammer Law Firm, we are zealous advocates for the clients we serve. Attorney Mark A. Hammer passionately defends the clients he serves. As a former prosecutor who has handled more than a hundred criminal trials, Mr. Hammer has the experience and determination necessary to handle your case no matter how complex the charges and no matter how high the stakes.
