Auburn, Sacramento Homicide Attorneys
Everyone knows a murder charge is serious. What they may not know, however, is that an experienced and knowledgeable defense lawyer can really make a difference in the outcome. At the Law Offices of Barry A. Zimmerman, we defend clients against murder charges, investigating the facts and developing strong defense strategies.
Our founding attorney, Barry A. Zimmerman, is one of the few lawyers in Placer County to be certified as a criminal law specialist by the State Bar of California. His knowledge, combined with his many years of experience defending clients against serious criminal charges, allows him to seek the best possible outcomes for clients who have been charged with murder.
The penalties for murder can include life imprisonment without parole. If the charge includes the use of a firearm, the sentence increases. The prosecution can ask for the death penalty in California under certain circumstances. The stakes are high.
Defending Clients Against All Homicide Charges
The firm defends individuals against murder charges that include:
- First and second degree murder
- Manslaughter and vehicular manslaughter
- Murder when committing another felony criminal offense, such as car-jacking, robbery, rape and arson
- Involuntary and voluntary manslaughter
- Domestic violence
- Gang-related murder
Building a Strong Case
We investigate thoroughly, employing private investigators and forensic specialists to validate the prosecution's case. We negotiate with prosecutors for lesser charges whenever possible and appropriate. We make effective presentations of client cases to juries. We explore the possibility of a self-defense argument or other arguments for justifiable homicide.
