A homicide occurs when a person kills another person illegally. There are several types of homicide which are broken down by the California Penal Code. They have varying degrees of mental states required to commit the offense and they also have varying degrees of punishment.

If you or someone you know is charged with a homicide, you will need an experienced attorney who knows how to defend a person accused of a very serious crime to represent you.

Because homicide is generally considered the most serious crime there is, the state usually assigns their best people to prosecute these offenses. You will need a qualified attorney to represent you if you want any chance to achieve a good result.
