New York law distinguishes between murder (intentional killing), manslaughter (killing without intent or in the heat of passion), and criminally negligent homicide. The specific charge and its degree significantly affect the potential penalties and available defenses.
Our defense strategies may include challenging the prosecution's evidence, presenting justification defenses such as self-defense, or working to reduce charges where appropriate. Every case is unique and deserves individualized attention.
