Murder Lawyer in Long Island

Accused of murder in Long Island?

When someone causes the death of another person, it is classified as a homicide. Murder is the most serious of all homicide charges, defined as having the malicious intent to kill another person. All degrees of murder in the state of New York are Class A felonies and include the possibility of life in prison without hope of parole. If you or a loved one is being investigated for murder, you need a Long Island criminal attorney to advise you as early in the process as possible. Our attorneys at Jacoby & Jacoby, with over 50 years of combined experience, will be there for you and will aggressively defend your rights.

If you are being questioned about murder, other felony crimes or even misdemeanor crimes, you have constitutional rights. You may be frightened and confused and without an attorney by your side, you are at your most vulnerable. On your own, you could be taken advantage of by police interrogators who may seek to have you make a statement under pressure that can implicate you in the crime. Getting in touch with an attorney from our firm right away will help alleviate some of your fears and safeguard your rights. If charges are filed, having a skilled attorney involved early on who can build an aggressive defense is critical, and may present an opportunity for an acquittal or a charge reduction from murder to manslaughter.
