Murder/Homicide
When a
prosecutor charges you in the death of a fellow human
being, your chances of avoiding an extended prison term
are unfortunately slim. District Attorneys rarely file
charges as serious as Murder or Homicide without
significant evidence and/or confidence in their case. In
fact, of the hundreds of people who have gone to trial
for Murder in Central Florida over the last twenty
years, less than a few dozen have received a not guilty
verdict.
If you
have been charged with Murder or Homicide, your Criminal
Defense Lawyer is very literally the only thing standing
between you and a minimum of serious jail time. The
harsh reality is that if your case proceeds to trial,
your chances of winning a jury trial for Murder are very
small in Central Florida.
You need
to have a criminal defense lawyer who has experience
with Murder trials and has built a reputation in Central
Florida courtrooms, fighting for you. In fact, if you
have been charged with a capital offense that brings the
death penalty into play, the State of Florida will
require your defense attorney to be certified to handle
a case of this magnitude.
We are
proud to have one of the handful of defense lawyers who
have won a jury trial in Central Florida in the last two
decades. The fact that our criminal defense attorneys
can call upon a vast pool of trial experience can make
all the difference for you, in a variety of ways.
-
Our
veteran attorneys can give you a very clear
explanation of the challenges you face, based on
actual experience.
-
Our
lawyer’s past trial experience, along with their
willingness and ability to take on a murder trial,
will make the prosecutors sit up and take notice.
-
Every
case is unique, and you need a defense lawyer who
understands the relative risks, rewards, and costs
of plea bargaining vs. trial.

in Florida have significant experience with murder
trials. You need to hire one of the 1% in order to have
any hope of prevailing. Better still, our criminal
defense attorneys have won at trial, and have worked for
decades in courtrooms all over Central Florida.
