Murder

Murder is one of the most serious crimes a person can be accused of and in Florida, the crime can even result in the offender receiving the death penalty. Fortunately, there are a number of options available to anyone who has been accused of this terrible crime. If you have been charged with murder, please contact a skilled Miami criminal attorney from The Law Office of Richard A. Stern.

No matter what the specifics of your case, your Miami criminal lawyer should be there to offer you a non-judgmental and sympathetic place to share your own side of the story and to voice your concerns. This is a critical aspect of the attorney client relationship and if you find that you do not feel comfortable around your defense representative, it may be a sign you need to go elsewhere.

At our offices, we will listen to your side of the story before we make any other moves. We will then examine all of the evidence in your case to see how strong the prosecution’s case is and to find if there are is any evidence against you that was illegally obtained. When your rights have been violated in the investigation process, this evidence cannot stand in court and your Miami criminal attorney will ensure it is struck from the proceedings. After examining the evidence and hearing your side of the story, we will then help you decide if you should fight the charges or attempt to negotiate a plea bargain. If you killed in self-defense or in defense of someone else, we may even get the case acquitted before trial.

Murder is punishable by life imprisonment and the death penalty, so if the evidence is somewhat conclusive, a winning plea bargain may just help save your life.

If you have been accused of murder or manslaughter in Florida, please call our offices today and schedule a consultation with a top Miami criminal lawyer.
