MURDER CRIMES DEFENSE ATTORNEYS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Murder Lawyer| Manslaughter |Homicide Attorney | Orange County | Los Angeles

If you or a friend or loved one has been accused of the unlawful killing of another human being, you could face the most severe penalties the California Justice System metes out. Indeed, the death penalty is still “on the books” in California; and the state does still seek capital punishment in particularly grievous homicides.

Even if a convicted killer does not get the death penalty, per se, he or she can face a variety of penalties, including many years--if not the rest of his or her life--behind bars.

California does not group all murder/homicide cases together. Some instances of killing are viewed as more severe than others.

Various kinds of homicide include first degree murder, second degree murder, DUI or DWI murder, vehicular manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and manslaughter. Orange County homicide attorney, Michael Guisti, has been practicing criminal defense in southern California for over 20 years. During that time, he has cultivated a deep reservoir of knowledge about how to craft effective murder/homicide defenses. Whether you’ve been accused of killing a police officer, killing a witness to a crime, killing multiple people, or killing in conjunction with committing other crimes (such as breaking and entering or carjacking), the Orange County criminal defense firm of Michael L. Guisti may be able to provide strategic services.

Homicide cases tend to be extremely complex. Often, criminal defendants must carry out wide ranging investigations in the fields of ballistics, DNA testing, pathology, accounting, pathology, fingerprinting, toxicology, and pharmacology. In addition, a good criminal defense team boasts an understanding of rules of evidence, serology and polygraph analysis and can explain the utilities and drawbacks of voice identification and eyewitness identification.

Orange County homicide defense attorney Guisti has helped many criminal defendants who have been charged with murder and has even helped capital crime defendants avoid the death penalty.

Given the serious nature of the accusations against you and the consequences for putting up a less than perfect defense, you need an Orange County murder lawyer like attorney Guisti on your side to ensure that you get a fair and thorough hearing and that you can explore every possible counterargument and alternative punishment.
