Homicide

Serious Criminal Defense

Even if the prosecution is not seeking the death penalty, a first degree murder conviction can result in life in prison without the possibility of parole. Michael Driver has appeared as counsel of record in over 30 homicide cases and has secured a not guilty verdict for a first degree murder client even when there was direct eyewitness testimony presented in the courtroom. Since 2005, Attorney Driver has also obtained the dismissal of three other first degree murder charges before the cases even reached trial. These clients went from facing life in prison to being cleared of the murder charges against them.

The Driver Law Firm has not only the experience of Attorney Michael Driver, but can also call on the experience of an entire team, including independent crime scene experts, psychiatrists, and psychologists. These experts are independent experts and must be retained separately. We also have long-standing relationships with private investigators who examine the nuances of your case that may have been overlooked by law enforcement, and may help gather evidence to help with your defense.

Murder cases can be well publicized by the media. Several resolved cases have been covered in local newspaper articles and other media links in which Michael Driver represented the defendant against a homicide charge.
