- MurderOur goal in any murder case is twofold — first, to investigate the evidence that undermines the government’s ability to prove guilt against the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt, and if possible develop an affirmative defense of our own; and next, to minimize the defendant’s risk of punishment in every way we can. At every step along the way, we keep our clients (and their families, if the client's consent) fully advised of their options, their risks, and their opportunities for improving what is often a very difficult position.

- ManslaughterIn cases such as DUI manslaughter or assault, we defend the drunk driving aspects of the case while attacking the evidence of causation. The more we can show that the accident did not result from your conduct as a driver, the more likely it is we can beat the felony charge.

Instead, it’s enough to show that the prosecution can’t prove its causation theory beyond a reasonable doubt.
