Southern California Criminal Defense Lawyers

Murder is one of the most serious criminal charges that you can face. Murder is the intentional killing of a human being with malice aforethought, which is the deliberate intent to kill. If you have been accused of causing the death of another without a lawful excuse (such as self-defense), you are in desperate need of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can aggressively defend you in either State or Federal court.
