Chandler Homicide Attorney

Homicide broadly defined is, the act of a human killing another person. In Arizona homicide refers to the killing of one person by another, either lawfully or unlawfully, and by some act or failure to act. But there are several other crimes that fall under the main category of homicide crimes.

These other crimes are categorized as:

  • Negligent Homicide
  • Manslaughter
  • Second-Degree Murder
  • First-Degree Murder

These crimes range in order of seriousness, with Negligent Homicide being the least serious and First-Degree Murder being the most serious. Even though Negligent Homicide is not as serious as First-Degree Murder, it is still a very serious offense. Homicide crimes are among the most serious of all crimes in Arizona and carry some of the most severe penalties for those who are convicted.

Negligent Homicide – ARS 13-1102 is the negligent killing of someone without understanding the risk of death from your actions. This means your actions were grossly negligent, in a way that a reasonable person would not have conducted themselves in the same way had they been in the same circumstance.

Punishments for Negligent Homicide can range from probation to 8 years in prison.

Manslaughter – ARS 13-1103 could be charged if your actions caused the victim’s death and; your actions were reckless and with no regard to the risks of your actions; you intentionally killed the person in the heat of passion after being provoked; you used more force than allowed by law or you were forced into killing the victim; you assisted and provided the means for someone you knew to commit suicide; you recklessly or knowingly caused a fetus’s death when you injured a pregnant woman; you drove your vehicle while impaired on alcohol or drugs and cased a fatal accident.

Punishments for Manslaughter can range from probation to 7 to 21 years in prison

Second Degree Murder – ARS 13-1104 could be charged if you intentionally killed someone without premeditation, including an unborn fetus; you knew your conduct would likely result in someone’s death or you knowingly caused someone’s death, including an unborn fetus; you acted with extreme indifference to the risk of death when your reckless actions caused the death of someone else, including an unborn fetus.

Punishments for Second-Degree Murder can range from probation to 10 to 25 years in prison.

First Degree Murder – ARS 13-1105 could be charged if you intentionally killed another person with premeditation. If the person was pregnant at the time, you could be charged with two counts of First-Degree Murder.

Punishments for First-Degree Murder can range from Life in Prison to the Death Penalty.

In Arizona, a homicide conviction carries significant penalties, and the state will regularly seek the death penalty in many first-degree murder cases. In many cases, it will be the mental state of the accused that will be at issue. Often, self-defense can be asserted as a legal justification to a murder charge. There are also several other legal defenses that apply to all varieties of homicide charges. Homicide crimes can be complex and difficult to defend. When facing any variety of homicide charge, it is crucial to hire a criminal defense attorney who has several decades of experience with homicide crimes.

I recently worked with Brittany at Attorneys for Freedom, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate throughout the entire process. The paralegals and staff who assisted with my case were equally impressive—always responsive, organized, and professional. The entire office operates with a high level of professionalism, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients. Brittany’s expertise and the support of the whole team made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of excellent legal representation.

I love this place. With them you can retain peace of mind. They offer protection from our very overreaching governments. That would be state and federal and as we all know they will try to lock you away for the act of defending oneself in certain places. I’m not rich, nor even well off, I honestly tread water most of the time and there is never enough funds to go around. That’s one of the things I like most about AoR , when they charge the monthly fee and the funds are not there, they notify me promptly so I can make the needed arrangements to cover the charge rather than just canceling me , this is great and I highly recommend this firm to anyone wanting the peace of mind that comes with the type of protection they provide. As far as I know these guys are the only people offering the protection with NO INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE LOOP. This is what you want, a retained law firm instead of insurance that would deny your first claim in hopes you won’t or can’t press them further to try to make themcover you. I sincerely believe AoR is hands down the best option and recommend them with a completely clear conscience that I steered anyone looking in the right direction. The customer service is simply fabulous as well. I have had them retained for a while now with exactly zero regrets. If your on the fence or anything go ahead and jump into AoR’s side and you will also have zero regrets!

Great group of professionals. I trust them with my life; they are the gatekeepers of my freedom against a motivated DA that doesn't support 2A. I hope that I never need them, but so thankful they are only a phone call away.

Use the same force that you feel is aimed at you? It's important to recognize the law in regardless. If you are in your home, with your family, it's not a concern of the same gravity.I like the idea you guys offer ie protection to protect yourself? And I liked to think that's the only defendable concern. Life is not that simple?Good job, I have a title that makes it easier to protect myself?

Have not have/had a reason to call as of yet, however, they are Better to have and not need them, than to Need them and not have them. I rest peacefully knowing I have some "Heavy Hitters/Big Shots" in our corner. With the rise of lawlessness and criminal foolishness, if/since you firmly believe in self-defense, it's best of your interest to have this Law Firm.
