There were 186 murder arrests recorded in New York State in 2019 – an average of one every two days. Homicide, manslaughter and capital murder charges in New York are extremely serious and have various definitions under Article 125 of the New York Penal Code:

  • conduct which causes the death of a person [or an unborn child with which a female has been pregnant for more than 24 weeks under circumstances constituting murder].
  • manslaughter in the first degree.
  • manslaughter in the second degree.
  • criminally negligent homicide.
  • abortion in the first degree.
  • self-abortion in the first degree.

Lives are clearly at stake when you or a loved one is faced with a homicide or manslaughter charge. You need to hire a law firm with deep experience and a track record of success defending against such severe claims.
