Homicide

Seattle Homicide Defense Lawyer

If you're facing a homicide prosecution, it's important for you to know that you're in the hands of an attorney capable of handling this most serious of all offenses. Whether the charge is manslaughter, murder by abuse, or First Degree Murder, you will be facing a senior prosecutor with all of the resources and technologies of the State of Washington aligned against you. You need an experienced champion on your side with a superior grasp of forensics and a superior defense.

As an experienced Seattle homicide lawyer, I've defended all manner of violent crimes, ranging from from simple assault and domestic violence to Capital Murder.

In a recent case I represented a young man accused of shooting and killing the man who had been molesting him since he was 12 years old. He was arrested after leaving the scene of the shooting and tossing the gun into Lake Washington. He was later charged with First Degree Murder and prosecuted by a senior trial deputy specializing in homicide cases. I took the case to trial before a jury and they didn't take long to reach their verdict: NOT GUILTY (October 2008). The jury was so utterly persuaded of my client's innocence that they also awarded him reimbursement for his attorney fees and sent him a Christmas card later that year.

In another case, I represented a woman charged with murder after she shot her husband during a struggle. After he fell to the ground, she emptied the gun into him, killing him instantly. In a highly publicized trial, my client was charged with First Degree Murder and a senior female prosecutor was assigned to the case. My client was unable to post the breathtaking bail and sat in jail while we prepared for trial. After a short deliberation following our defense, the jury acquitted my client of Murder and she went home that same evening.

Every case is unique, and no particular result can ever be suggested or promised. The point is, I know how to conduct a major homicide defense and how to get the job done. When your life is on the line, you need more than just a good effort, you need results.
