Murder
Aggressive representation in Hampton Roads for Murder Charges
Murder is the most serious charge that one can possibly face. Your very life is at stake, and you face the possibility of a lifetime behind bars without parole. If you or someone you love is facing a murder charge in Hampton Roads, you absolutely must hire an aggressive criminal defense attorney for your case. This is not the time to cut corners or shop around for the least expensive attorney you can find.
Murder charges in Virginia fall into two tyes: First degree and Second degree. First degree murder generally is that act resulting in the death of another where the death is the wilful, deliberated, and premeditated intent of the defendant. A death that is the result of certain felonies (arson, rape, forcible sodomy, object sexual penetration, robbery, and burglary) may also be charged as First degree murder. All other murders are in the Second degree.
Lesser offenses may arise from a murder charge, such as voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. These are felonies, but less serious than First and Second degree murder.
Numerous defenses may apply in a murder case, including but not limited to self-defense, intoxication (to a limited degree), justifiable homicide, duress, and protection of family members.
If you or someone you know has been charged with murder, you need an aggressive criminal defense attorney right away. Do not wait to allow evidence to disappear that might be critical to your defense. Hire an aggressive attorney right away to build your defense from the ground up right away. The stakes are simply too high in these cases to not take aggressive and immediate action in securing the right criminal defense attorney for your case.
