Fighting Murder and Homicide Charges
There is no more serious criminal charge than murder. If you have been accused of murder or any other homicide crime, you need intensive legal representation from an attorney who can bring serious experience and resources to your case.
Contact me to get an attentive and respected Little Rock criminal defense lawyer with over two decades of experience, one who will explore every opportunity for getting you acquitted, dropping or reducing the charge and/or reducing the consequences.
Defending You on the Facts and Law
Homicide is the general name for felony crimes that involve the intentional or reckless killing of a person. There are a number of distinct homicide charges, and the various degrees of murder are the most serious.
To convict you on a homicide charge, the prosecution needs to prove a set of facts beyond a reasonable doubt that match the legal definition of the charge for which you are accused. Defending you against the charge involves contesting the alleged facts and/or arguing that the facts do not fit the legal definition of the crime.
I have both a sophisticated understanding of Arkansas and federal law and extensive experience identifying and investigating the facts of a criminal case. I will tell your side of the story to the prosecutors, judge and jury as necessary.
Exploring Your Options for Lesser Charges
Given the complex nature of fitting the facts of a particular case into a specific legal charge, it is sometimes possible to convince the prosecutor to drop the most serious charges and seek conviction only on a lesser charge.
What starts as a murder charge can end up being tried as another type of homicide or manslaughter. While these are still serious felonies, they have reduced consequences.
Each case is different. The best strategy for your case will depend on the unique set of facts and your own personal priorities. I will advise and consult you before making any decisions about your case.
When facing charges like homicide, you can't afford to take chances on an attorney. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation with an advocate who has the experience to defend you.
