Homicide

Homicide Defense Attorney in Chino

California Penal Code 187 (a) defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being or a fetus with malice aforethought. When you have the intention of ending another person's life out of anger or hatred, you may be tried with homicide or attempted murder. There are several different degrees of murder which you can be charged with; all of which require the representation of an immensely qualified legal professional from Madrid Law Firm.

  • First Degree Murder 
    First degree murder is the act of killing another person using a device or explosive such as a gun or grenade. Premeditated, willful murder can be charged as first degree murder.
  • Capital Murder 
    This offense is similar to first degree murder, in that the crime was premeditated; however, capital murder is the unlawful killing of a person for financial gain, the murder of a law enforcement official, judge or juror or elected official or if you kill more than one person. There are more than twenty special circumstances which can fall under capital murder.
  • Second Degree Murder 
    Non-deliberate or premeditated murder, such as shooting a gun into a crowd or a DUI accident, can be considered a second degree murder. This felony is strictly defined under California Penal Code 187.

  • “I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney!”
    This review is for Erica at Madrid Law Firm. Without getting too into my DUI case, I had a special circumstance conviction. She was able to get me the best possible deal from the DA. I truly believe that! Felony dropped to a misdemeanor, bail amount decreased. She was very informative and responded in a timely matter. It was never difficult to reach her and she took the time to explain all my questions. I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney! She knows what she is doing, took care of all the DMV matters for me. I highly recommend her, very trustworthy!!

  • “Madrid Law Firm will do the absolute best for you in your situation and they will not stop fighting for you until you are satisfied with the results.”
    Madrid Law Firm had been a referral from someone that I know. Hands down this is the best Attorney and law firm that I have had to deal with. Nobody wants to have to hire an attorney, but if you have to I will highly recommend Madrid Law Firm. I was in a car accident a few weeks before delivering my precious baby girl so being in a car accident was scary and stressful. Madrid Law Firm took care of everything to make sure that my baby was happy and healthy before and after her birth. They even went above and beyond what I have seen with other attorneys, to accommodate my needs. The entire staff is caring, kind and extremely proactive. Madrid Law Firm will do the absolute best for you in your situation and they will not stop fighting for you until you are satisfied with the results. And to top it off my attorney is HONEST. Even though my attorney was able to get more money for me than we had anticipated, he didn't take more money out for himself. He gave it all to me. Wow, now that is a rare gem of a find in an attorney. Madrid Law Firm you rock. Thank you for your amazing service.

  • “I highly recommend Madrid Law Firm and I will recommend them to my family and friends!”
    Erica is a great lawyer to work with. I had no idea what to do about my situation and she was able to help me with my case and get me a better deal with the court. She really helps to make sure you understand your situation and always answers any questions or concerns you may have. Even 3 years after my case I was able to call her and she was so sweet to take time out of her schedule to meet with me and answer some questions I had. I highly recommend Madrid Law Firm and I will recommend them to my family and friends!
