Philadelphia Murder Defense Lawyer

If you or your loved one has been arrested and charged with murder in the Philadelphia area, please do not panic. Contact the Philadelphia criminal attorney immediately to begin discussions regarding your case.

Pennsylvania has mandatory sentencing laws for violent crimes. A first degree murder conviction will result in a death sentence or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Second and third degree murder convictions are punishable by time in prison as well as the more severe life in prison without parole.

The negotiations process with the prosecution is where a criminal lawyer becomes pivotal in such important cases is. An experienced lawyer can make a deal with the prosecution for a plea bargain to lesser charges in exchange for less time in prison and the possibility of parole. Especially in the cases where a death sentence is likely to be given, the Philadelphia criminal attorney will work aggressively to gain a lesser sentence for our clients.

Our Criminal Attorney Will Find Weaknesses in the Evidence

Evidence is key in any type of murder trial. A skilled attorney can attempt to suppress evidence or get evidence dismissed using a variety of legal methods. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did in fact commit an act of homicide. If there is even a tiny detail of a case that may help discredit murder charges, the Philadelphia criminal attorney will bring it to light.

Time is critically important in defending murder cases. Contact the law offices of the Philadelphia criminal attorney immediately to begin evaluating your case today.
