PENALTIES FOR VIOLENT CRIME CHARGES


Violent crime convictions carry some of the harshest penalties under Virginia law. Depending on the charges and circumstances, you could face:


  • 1 year to life in prison
  • Heavy fines and court costs
  • Loss of voting rights
  • Loss of firearm ownership
  • A permanent felony record


Often the impact doesn’t end when a sentence is served. A conviction can make it harder to find stable housing, secure employment, or regain custody of your children—even years later.
