Homicide and Assault
Philadelphia Homicide and Assault Defense
Homicide is the killing of a human being due to the act or omission of another person. Homicide includes such crimes as murder and manslaughter. People accused of homicide have the same rights as any other criminal defendant, including the right to a lawyer, the right to a jury trial, the right to cross-examine witnesses, the right against self-incrimination, and the right to produce evidence. At Patrick Artur & Associates, we are experienced homicide attorneys who represent clients charged homicide in Philadelphia, and communities throughout Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Bucks counties.
When defending your charges, we always maintain your innocence, keeping in mind that not all homicides are crimes, particularly when there is a lack of criminal intent. Non-criminal homicides include such things as killing in self-defense, hunting accidents, or a car accident where someone is killed, but there was no violation of the law, such as reckless driving or DUI. Many times, arguing self-defense, insanity, or other affirmative defenses that may result in an acquittal can defend manslaughter or murder charges. As experienced homicide attorneys, we can provide you with the criminal defense you need to protect your freedom.
At Patrick Artur & Associates, our homicide attorneys and assault lawyers have proven experience in dealing with serious crimes. We know the system and we have an impressive track record of success. An experienced homicide attorney or assault lawyer can make all the difference when you are faced with felony charges. Trust someone who knows the system to provide you with the right representation and guidance. Trust Patrick Artur & Associates to get you a verdict of "not guilty."
