Violent Crimes

Burlington Assault and Battery Lawyers

One of the biggest problems we encounter as criminal defense attorneys is many people do not take the charges or allegations against them seriously and do not know how to protect their interests. Many times they make incriminating statements to the police without realizing the effect of these statements on their defense. Before making this mistake, you should enlist the assistance of an experienced violent crimes attorney. If you have been arrested, it is important that you maintain your right to remain silent and contact one of the attorneys at Hemric, Hemric & Champion, P.A.. We have over 50 years of experience helping people in the Burlington, North Carolina, area who have been arrested for a violent crime such as murder, rape, or assault and battery.

North Carolina Assault and Battery Attorneys

Hiring someone who is knowledgeable about the law and knows how to deal with the prosecutors is important when you have been arrested for a violent crime. Violent crimes are serious matters that often carry substantial jail time and punishment. One of our attorneys, Ricky Champion, served as Chief Assistant District Attorney for Alamance County for many years. He knows what the other side is looking for and is able to develop strategies that help his clients counter the prosecution's arguments.

We can defend the rights of people who have been charged with most types of violent crimes including the following:

• capital murder
• murder/homicide
• manslaughter
• assault and battery
• armed robbery
• carjacking
• kidnapping
• arson
• vehicular manslaughter
• sex crimes
• rape
• domestic abuse

We also work with students at Elon University and the University of North Carolina who have been arrested for a violent crime. Recently, we represented four students at Elon who were charged with rape or kidnapping and were able to receive acquittals for all of them in three successive years.

We are in it for the long haul.
