Pursuing the Best Possible Outcome in Murder Cases

In Arizona, anyone convicted of murder in the first degree can receive a penalty of death, life in prison without the possibility of release or life in prison. To be charged with this crime, the act must have been intentional and premeditated. The accused must have had full intent and awareness of the consequences of their actions when they committed the crime. If mitigating circumstances are found to exist, then it’s possible that a lesser homicide charge may be applied. However, a court will take into account all factors and arguments before coming to a final decision on charges.


While complete exoneration is our ultimate goal, whether a favorable verdict or dismissal of charges, we also look at other options, including reducing first-degree murder charges to second-degree murder – or even to manslaughter. No matter what your option, we challenge every aspect of the prosecutor’s case aggressively to bring about the most favorable outcome. Don’t wait a moment longer. Let us fight for you!
