Violent Crimes

Homicide, Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault, etc.

Any violent crime charge requires a strong defense from an experienced lawyer. The most serious violent crime charges are felonies of the first degree, which have a maximum of 20 years in jail.

In more than 36 combined years of experience, the criminal defense lawyers of Loughran, Mlakar & Bilik have helped hundreds of people get through very serious charges. We work closely with each client, fighting hard to minimize jail time and get every client the best possible outcome. We serve southwestern Pennsylvania, including Greensburg, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and Westmoreland County.

We can help people facing charges of:

  • Armed Robbery
  • Homicide
  • Attempted Homicide
  • Assault: Aggravated Assault, Simple Assault
  • Crimes with the Use of a Firearm
  • Homicide by Vehicle

The mandatory minimum sentence for violent crimes involving a firearm is 5-10 years in state prison. However, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is not required to seek the mandatory minimum. Our attorneys may be able to negotiate a good result short of the mandatory minimum sentence.

Fighting Charges in Court

Of course, if the authorities do not have sufficient evidence, we can fight violent crime charges in court. A common defense is to prove that the witnesses misidentified our clients. It is well-known that witnesses often make mistakes.
