Murder Penalties
The penalties for murder are the most severe of any crime - life in prison and the death penalty. The death penalty for murder is a potential consequence in the state of New York, and only skilled, experienced murder defense lawyers can be trusted to defend a person in such a trial. Any murder charge (first degree, second degree or other) carries at least a decade of jail time, making the penalty serious no matter what the charge.
Government prosecutors will often make the murder victim an incredibly sympathetic character either to the judge or the jury, and this makes mounting a successful defense that much more difficult. It can be an overwhelming trial for an inexperienced murder defense lawyer, even one with the best intentions. With our advanced background, The Blanch Law Firm has a refined understanding and approach to murder trials, and provides our clients with an unmatched level of legal services.
