Facing murder or manslaughter charges can feel like a waking nightmare. With the right type of legal representation, even a person facing first-degree murder charges may be able to look forward to a bright future, free from a conviction and imprisonment.
Typical areas of expertise at Rizio & Nelson murder lawyers include:
 Involuntary manslaughter (including vehicular manslaughter)
Voluntary manslaughter
Second-degree murder
First-degree murder
First-degree murder is a capital felony, usually punished by lifetime imprisonment (without parole) or the death penalty. When a person kills someone with malice aforethought and premeditation, this will usually be charged as first-degree murder.
Frequently, both murder and manslaughter cases will be based on the intention of the accused. Premeditation is an issue in murder, but is not in manslaughter. Consequently, if a defense attorney can prove that a client did not, as a matter of fact, have the intention to kill the victim beforehand, they may get the murder charge lessened to manslaughter.
