Assault & Violent Crime Defense Attorneys in Mobile, AL
When the Stakes Are High, You Need a Legal Team That Won’t Back Down
Allegations of assault or violent offenses can lead to devastating outcomes—including jail time, permanent criminal records, and reputational harm. At The Hernandez & Associates Law Firm, we understand how serious these accusations are—and we’re ready to respond with strength, precision, and unwavering advocacy.
We serve clients across Mobile, Baldwin County, and Southeast Alabama, defending against a broad range of violent crime charges. With over 50 years of combined experience, our firm is known for trial preparation, aggressive defense, and a deep respect for your constitutional rights.
What is Considered a Violent Crime in Alabama?
Under Alabama law, violent crimes typically involve the use—or threat—of physical force. We represent clients facing:
- Simple assault or third-degree assault
- Aggravated assault or first- and second-degree assault
- Assault with a deadly weapon
- Domestic violence and protection order violations
- Robbery or attempted robbery
- Reckless endangerment
- Kidnapping and unlawful restraint
- Felony battery or gang-related violence
Many of these charges are felonies and carry lengthy prison terms, fines, and collateral consequences like loss of firearm rights or child custody complications.
Our Defense Approach for Violent Crime Cases
Violent crime cases are often emotionally charged. Police may rush to judgment. Witness statements may conflict. And prosecutors often pursue the harshest possible penalties.
We push back.
When you work with us, our team will:
- Review arrest procedures and police conduct
- Challenge the credibility of witness testimony
- Uncover surveillance, call logs, or digital evidence
- Explore self-defense, defense of others, or mistaken identity
- Identify gaps in the state’s burden of proof
- Work with mitigation experts if the case reaches sentencing
We also act quickly to preserve favorable evidence—like texts, videos, or surveillance footage—before it's lost or overwritten.
Domestic Violence Defense
Many assault cases arise from domestic situations, where the facts are nuanced and emotions run high. We represent individuals wrongly accused of domestic violence and work to prevent no-contact orders, eviction, or child custody restrictions from being unfairly imposed.
Domestic violence allegations can carry enhanced penalties—even for first-time offenders—so it’s crucial to have experienced defense counsel who understands both the law and the personal impact.
