Murder Cases in L.A.

Los Angeles Murder Defense Attorney

Murder is considered to be the most heinous of crimes, as in order to have committed murder, there must have been malice aforethought. This means that a plan was made to kill another human being, and then the plan was carried out. Manslaughter charges, however, do not include advance planning but could be accidental (as in DUI or negligence cases). If you or a loved one is facing a murder charge, this is the most serious of all criminal charges, and the penalties in California could include the death penalty. Your life is actually at stake if you are facing a murder charge and immediate action must be taken to defend you. A Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer should be contacted from the moment of the arrest.
