Vigorously Defending Against Serious Accusations

Accused of Murder? You Need an Experienced Advocate.
There are many different types of conflicts that result in someone getting killed, including gang rivalries, drug-related disputes and domestic arguments. If the police believe someone can be held responsible for a death, they will vigorously prosecute the case.
Attorney Jeffrey Silvia, a former prosecutor, has handled many murder and homicide cases—including more than a dozen jury trials—since he began practicing criminal law in 1985.
With that level of experience, we have the ability to seek out and relentlessly pursue the best defense strategies to help you avoid conviction on a homicide charge. When you hire our firm to represent you, the prosecutors will know that you are prepared to fight vigorously.
Understanding Vehicular Manslaughter Charges
Another major category of homicide cases is vehicular manslaughter. If someone was killed in an accident while you were driving, that does not necessarily mean you are guilty of a crime, but if the police believe your were negligent or reckless, you will be charged.
Alleged drunk driving cases are particularly serious, typically involving felony charges. If you have a previous DUI conviction, you could even be charged with second-degree murder.
We are experienced at handling a wide range of vehicular manslaughter and murder cases under many different circumstances. Contact us right away to discuss how we can help you.
