Philadelphia Homicide Defense Attorney

We defend men and women charged with any type of homicide crime, including

murder. We defend people charged with first degree murder, which involves the intentional killing of another person. We also handle second degree murder, also known as felony murder, where you have been charged as the principal or accomplice in a felony that led to the death of another person.
voluntary manslaughter. If you took the life of another person as a result of a sudden and irresistible impulse (or intense passion), often resulting from a serious provocation, you can be charged with voluntary manslaughter.
involuntary manslaughter. We will defend you if you acted in a reckless or grossly negligent manner and your actions resulted in the death of another person, also known as involuntary manslaughter.
vehicular homicide. Vehicular homicide can involve causing the death of another while drinking and driving, or killing someone while violating any other traffic or vehicle law.

When you hire us to defend you on homicide charges, we will exhaustively investigate all the details of your case, using our professional private investigator to gather physical evidence and question witnesses. We will examine how police and prosecutors obtained their evidence and verify that there was probable cause for any search, seizure or arrest. We will also evaluate whether evidence was improperly obtained through anonymous tips or other sources. If your rights were violated, we will move to exclude the evidence and, if appropriate, dismiss the charges against you.
