Murder-Homicide
We have extensive experience in defending clients accused of homicide. Our approach begins with an independent investigation, forensic review, and expert consultation. We seek to challenge both the prosecution’s narrative and the evidence chain. Whether it’s self-defense, mistaken identity, or another defense theory, we go to trial when it’s in the client’s best interest.
Manslaughter
Manslaughter charges require careful legal distinction between negligence, accident, and intent. We scrutinize the facts to reduce or dismiss charges based on lack of intent or provocation. In many cases, we work to secure probation or alternative sentencing options rather than prison, depending on the circumstances and client history.
Assault and Battery
We consider every angle of these cases, especially for possible self-defense, reduction to a lower charge, and/or a no-jail sentence (work program or electronic home confinement). If the client wishes to go to jury trial, we prepare with the goal of obtaining an acquittal.
Robbery
Robbery is usually an automatic prison case. We handle this type of case with the aim of obtaining a full acquittal at a jury trial, or negotiating a probation offer, or a lesser sentence, if possible.
Burglary
First-degree burglary is usually, like robbery, an automatic prison case. We go into every case seeking a dismissal, reduction of charge, or the best possible negotiated sentence. However, we understand that at times we must take a case to trial, and we do so fully prepared to win.
Violent crime accusations carry life-changing consequences. Our firm aggressively defends clients against assault, battery, robbery, and homicide charges. Call (831) 757-3925 to protect your future.
