Violent crime convictions carry the harshest penalties in Missouri — from decades in prison to life without parole. Select a charge below to learn more about the offense, penalties, and how we defend these cases.
Assault
Missouri assault charges range from fourth-degree misdemeanor assault to first-degree assault carrying up to life in prison. Prosecutors routinely overcharge assault cases — the specific facts matter enormously.
Robbery
Robbery involves taking property from another person by force or threat of force. Even without a weapon or physical injury, robbery is charged as a serious felony in Missouri.
Homicide & Manslaughter
Missouri classifies unlawful killings from involuntary manslaughter through first-degree murder. The distinction between deliberation, knowledge, recklessness, and negligence determines the charge — and the defense strategy.
Armed Criminal Action
ACA is an add-on charge that prosecutors stack on top of any felony involving a weapon. It carries mandatory prison time with no probation — and the sentence must run consecutively to the underlying felony.
