Murder Defense Attorney In Philadelphia
Felony murder charges are a serious matter that should not be left to an inexperienced defense attorney more accustomed to handling speeding tickets. If you are being accused of having killed another human being, intentionally or not, you will need a Philadelphia defense attorney with the maximum experience in investigating the charges and defending your rights. After over 25 years of criminal defense practice, our attorneys at Brennan Law Offices have established a solid reputation for effective, nonjudgmental representation dedicated to securing the most favorable result possible throughout trial, negotiation, and appeals. Call 215-568-1400 for a free initial consultation. Murder is a very sensational charge that is often tried by emotional appeals in the media rather than facts and the law. As with any felony criminal charge, you have specific rights that must be upheld, including:
- The right to examine and produce evidence
- The right to question your accusers
- The right against incriminating yourself
- The right to defense available, regardless of your social standing or financial situation
At Brennan Law Offices, our Philadelphia homicide defense lawyers have assisted numerous clients in both state and federal courts facing murder charges across Pennsylvania and New Jersey:
-
First-/second-/third-degree murder – Charges vary by intent and severity. We build strong defense strategies to challenge the prosecution.
-
Manslaughter (voluntary/involuntary) – Cases involve reckless or provoked killings. We work to reduce charges and seek alternative sentencing.
-
Vehicular homicide – Death caused by negligent or reckless driving. We analyze evidence and explore defense options.
-
Death resulting from DUI/drunk driving – Fatalities from impaired driving carry severe penalties. We challenge evidence and defend your rights.
-
Death penalty cases – Our criminal defense attorney fights for clients facing the death penalty, pursuing appeals and post-conviction relief.
The prosecution must prove criminal intent beyond a reasonable doubt, and it is our job to question the evidence and identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case in order to secure an acquittal or dropped charges. In many murder cases, there is a lack of criminal intent, including accidental death and other non-criminal situations. At Brennan Law Offices, we are skilled at developing defense for your individual situation. We are proud of the difference we’ve made in the lives of clients who might otherwise have faced years behind bars or even the death penalty. At Brennan Law Offices, our comprehensive knowledge of state and federal law and our long history of successful results speaks for itself. Prosecutors respect us as a force to be reckoned with and will often agree to negotiate an agreement rather than face our attorneys in front of a jury.
