Experienced Manchester Murder Lawyer Defending Your Freedom

The state of New Hampshire takes murder charges very seriously. These cases are usually investigated not just by the local law enforcement agency but also by the State Police Major Crime Unit. Their only interest is gathering enough proof to put you under the jail—and you need a strong criminal defense attorney to protect your rights from the moment you’re accused through police questioning, the investigation, and in court. Our attorneys represent you at each step, helping you during police questioning and inspecting the methods that the police use to get evidence to ensure that it’s done in accordance with state and federal law.

Our strong legal representation extends from the investigation to the courtroom. Murder cases are often prosecuted by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office. We’re familiar with the prosecutors in that department and their tactics. We build a strong case to combat them, collect evidence, and poke holes in the prosecutor’s case using the evidence we collect and fine points of New Hampshire law.

Help When You Have Been Charged With Murder

Our attorneys are intimately familiar with the complicated scientific evidentiary issues that often accompany a murder charge. We have devoted our professional lives to ensuring that people accused of serious crimes have the best defense possible and understand how criminal law and scientific evidence intersect. Your lawyer will address issues like DNA, footwear imprints, tool mark analysis, mental health defenses, and bloodstain pattern analysis and present forceful defenses against any of these matters the prosecutor brings up.

Our advocacy doesn’t end with a trial. We can help you negotiate a plea arrangement with the prosecution if that is what you determine is in your best interests. Should the worst happen, we will help you petition the judge at sentencing to seek a lesser punishment. At each stage of your case, we give you personalized advice so that you can make informed decisions and understand what’s going to happen next.
