Attorneys for Those Accused of Homicide Offenses
If you have been accused of murder or homicide, you are facing the most serious set of penalties under Texas or federal law. Your choice of a criminal defense lawyer is extremely important and should be made as quickly as possible so your defense efforts can begin in earnest.
At Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley, we have 40 years of experience representing people accused of serious crimes such as murder and homicide. If you have been charged with or are being investigated for someone's death, don't hesitate to contact us at our offices in San Antonio, Texas. We never charge for initial consultations.
Analyzing the Charges Against You
Each murder and homicide charge is unique, and if the state believes you were involved in someone's death, they may charge you with one or more of the following offenses:
- Murder
- Capital murder
- Murder for hire
- Solicitation of murder
- Conspiracy to murder
- Criminally negligent homicide
- Vehicular homicide
- Voluntary manslaughter
- Involuntary manslaughter
Simply proving that one person caused the death of another is not enough for a criminal conviction for murder or homicide. If it is uncontested that you caused someone's death, the state still needs to prove that you are guilty of the specific charges against you.
Investigating the Facts to Make Your Case
Our attorneys work with forensic experts in a number of fields, including worldwide investigative resources, to critically examine the government's case and fortify your defense. Scientific evidence against you may be flawed, and we have experience debunking flawed evidence, including autopsies.
If you acted in self-defense or under duress, we will assert these defenses. We can also explore mental defenses, including the insanity defense and challenges to our client's competency to stand trial.
We take murder and homicide cases extremely seriously. If you have been charged with one of these violent crimes, don't hesitate to contact us to get experienced lawyers on your side.
