Murder Lawyer Dover, NH

Facing a murder charge is a frightening time, and you may feel as if you are all alone, with no one to protect you or speak for you against the powerful New Hampshire criminal justice system. The events that led to the death of another person may have spun out of your control, or you may have been unfortunate to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some people may be victims of an overzealous police investigation or prosecutorial overcharging.

Our first step in crafting a strong defense is to thoroughly investigate the charges laid against you, as well as how the evidence against you was collected. If your rights were violated, we will swiftly address this with the court. Then, we may ask some hard questions about how the death of the other person happened, including your behavior and whether you felt compelled to defend yourself.

We know just how much is on the line for people who have been charged with murder, and how serious the penalties are. Our attorneys protect you during police questioning, in court, and at trial. We craft a compelling argument against the murder charges against you, and as experienced attorneys, both prosecutors and defense lawyers, we know how to properly present it to a jury. Or, should a plea deal with the prosecutor be more appropriate for your situation, we fiercely negotiate the least possible penalties, seeking to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. Each case is different, but our thorough preparation and commitment to your freedom remain the same.
