Montgomery County Attempted Murder Defense Attorney

Norristown, Pennsylvania • Homicide and Assault Defense Lawyer

At the Law Office of Henry S. Hilles, III in Norristown, Montgomery County, PA, I have defended people accused of violent crimes, from Simple Assault and Resisting Arrest to Aggravated Assault and Capital Homicide (death penalty) cases.  Prosecutors and judges take violent crimes very seriously and usually seek a substantial jail sentence.  Because the stakes are so high in violent crime cases, it is critically important to have an attorney with the knowledge and experience to handle such cases.

Defending a violent crime case involves a great deal of investigation and creative thought. Frequently there are legitimate defenses to these charges that have to be brought to light.  Perhaps the person charged was simply acting in self-defense.  Perhaps the person did not have the intent to commit the crime charges.  Perhaps there are other, mitigating factors that warrant reducing the charges and the ultimate penalty.  Sometimes gathering and analyzing certain evidence can result in the reduction of charges.  A defense attorney must carefully think through and investigate all possible angles in violent-crime cases to ensure the best possible result for the client.
