Houston Murder Defense Lawyer

Attorney Representation in Houston, Texas since 1992

With the conviction of murder comes the possibility of a life in prison. There are very serious consequences associated with a murder conviction. The punishment is dependent on numerous things, such as the severity of the injuries to the victim, whether the use of weapons and guns were involved and if the accused has a past criminal record. Finding and hiring an experienced Houston criminal attorney to represent you is the key to achieving favorable results.

A Coroner stands in front of police tape at night in a field.Murder charges are classified by several levels or 'degrees'.

The unlawful killing of someone that occurs after planning or premeditation is classified as First Degree Murder.

Second degree murder is defined as the intentional, unplanned killing that occurred in the heat of passion. It demonstrates a lack of concern for a person’s life by dangerous conduct.

A murder that shows an unintentional killing that resulted from criminal negligence, such as DUI, is classified as involuntary manslaughter. The fourth type of murder is voluntary manslaughter. It shows an intentional killing without the premeditation to kill.

If you or a loved one has been charged with any type of murder, it is essential to contact a top Houston Criminal Attorney. Tad Nelson and Associates have the experience in handling murder and violent crimes. Call today for a consultation with a Houston criminal attorney.
