Broward County Criminal Defense Information

Broward County Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense Lawyer in Ft. Lauderdale

When one is arrested by law enforcement, they may not realize until much later that a charge of “resisting without violence” or “resisting with violence” has been added to the list of offenses.  This can be very serious, as it may increase the penalties you face if convicted.  Almost any action taken by an individual being arrested could be evaluated as resisting arrest, particularly if you are completely taken by surprise when arrested.  If you argue, you can be charged with resisting arrest without violence.  If you struggle or get physical, the charge can be increased to resisting with violence.  If you are facing this charge, it is crucial that you get legal assistance from a Broward County criminal defense lawyer immediately. 

Hager & Schwartz, P.A. – Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Broward County

Charges of resisting arrest can add serious time to any penalty you are facing on other charges.  Resisting arrest without violence is classed as a first degree misdemeanor, and if the officer involved feels that violence was involved, the charge becomes a third degree felony, with penalties of up to 5 years in prison.  Usually these charges are added on to other criminal charges one is facing, but can have a serious impact on your court proceedings.  Not only are you charged with a criminal offense, it appears that you resisted arrest.    This can alter the perception of you in your case in a negative way.

If you are facing this charge or other criminal charges, the legal team at Hager & Schwartz, P.A. offers a free initial consultation to discuss your case and help you to determine how to move forward with your defense.  There are many cases in which the charges are dismissed, based on the hard work and dedication of this outstanding legal team.
