Homicide/Manslaughter

Arizona Homicide Defense Attorneys

Many individuals who are convicted of murder or homicide are convicted because of a confession. The law office of Leyh, Billar, & Associates has extensive experience handling homicide defense cases. It is our ultimate goal to protect the rights of our clients and attain their freedom. Contact our Phoenix manslaughter defense lawyers for a free consultation.

Confessions

Unfortunately, many individuals arrested for homicide do not ask for an attorney, or are persuaded by the police that they do not need one and are coerced into a confession—even if they did not commit the crime. Our manslaughter and homicide defense lawyers work diligently to represent the client, including:

• investigating the police techniques
• analyzing the confession

We work to ascertain if the confession was a true confession or a coerced confession and strive to prove it. We are experienced knowing how to detect signs of unconstitutional police misuse or abuse. Additionally, we have the resources available to psychologically analyze the confession searching for coercion and have experts analyze what the true cause of death was.

Representative Case

Recently, we represented a client facing homicide charges where the prosecution had two videotaped confessions to the police. Through our aggressive representation of our client, we attained a hung jury. Even though the jury saw both confessions, they felt that the confessions were coerced.
