Homicide is the killing of a human being due to the act or omission of another person. Homicide includes such crimes as murder and manslaughter. People accused of homicide have the same rights as any other criminal defendant, including the right to a proper defense. Leo V. Duval, Esq. always maintains his clients’ innocence, keeping in mind that not all homicides are crimes, particularly when there is a lack of criminal intent. Non-criminal homicides include such things as killing in self-defense, hunting accidents, or a car accident where someone is killed, but there was no violation of the law, such as reckless driving or DUI. Many times, arguing self-defense, insanity, or other affirmative defenses that may result in an acquittal can defend manslaughter or murder charges.
If you have been charged with murder or manslaughter in Staten Island, Brooklyn, the Bronx or New York City, Leo V. Duval, Esq. will aggressively and diligently defend you.
