Examining Real Causes of Murder: Not Every Tragedy Is a Crime
Our message to our clients that are being charged for murder and prosecutors in many such cases is: not every tragedy is a crime. Sometimes accidents happen, even if there was a murder involved. Ordinary people become entangled in situations which, from an outsider's point of view, may appear to warrant conviction and incarceration. Even when a client has done what is alleged, the situation may simply not warrant the criminal penalties proposed.
Homicide Defense Attorney Protecting Your Rights
A murder defense attorney's primary job is to defend you against a powerful, organized, well-funded government. The reason criminal defendants are innocent until proven guilty-the reason prosecutors have to prove homicide cases beyond a reasonable doubt-is because our justice system is set up with checks and balances. The primary balance against over-reaching government power is your murder attorney.
What that means for you is that we defend all clients-innocent or guilty of murder to the absolute best of our ability.
Because of our homicide lawyers extensive experience in defending people accused of murder, we know how to discover what evidence the prosecution has accumulated, what defenses are available, and what options you have.
