Homicide Crimes

Homicide crimes are of the most serious in nature and carry the most severe penalties under Oklahoma law. If you have been charged with a homicide crime, you need an experienced attorney to help you navigate the legal system and fight for your rights.

Many criminal defense attorneys will not take homicide cases because of the immense amount of work involved, or because of the graphic nature of the crimes. At Rockett Law Office, we believe that those charged with homicide crimes need our help the most, due the nature of the punishments proscribed for such crimes. Our attorney has the experience, skills, and network of resources necessary to provide the best possible defense to anyone facing homicide charges in Oklahoma.

Time is of the Essence:

It is crucial that anyone charged with, or who believes they may be charged with, a homicide crime consult with an experienced homicide crimes attorney immediately. The earlier a person seeks the advice and representation of an attorney, the greater the chance of a favorable outcome in his/her case. Remember, you should NEVER give a statement to law enforcement without first consulting with an attorney. This is especially true if you are being questioned in relation to a homicide crime.

Building a Defense in Homicide Cases:

Many homicide cases require interviewing numerous potential witnesses to the alleged crime, as well as interviewing those who may have information vital to explaining the events that occurred. This requires an investigator with the ability to locate people, the experience to know what questions to ask, and the social skills to get witnesses to open up about the incident in question. It is often necessary to consult with certain experts, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, forensic pathologists, ballistics examiners, etc., in order to defend the allegations made by the prosecution.

To build the best possible defense for someone charged with a homicide crime, it is imperative to have an attorney who knows what other professionals are needed to assist in the case, to work together with these professionals as a team, and to construct a defense from the information gathered. At Rockett Law Office, our criminal defense attorney has the knowledge and experience to put together a team of professionals best suited to build a defense in your homicide case.

Homicide cases regularly go to jury trial. For this reason, it is essential to hire an attorney that will advocate vigorously for your rights from beginning to end. Rockett Law Office will devote the time and effort necessary to guide you and your loved ones through the legal process, build the best possible defense in your case, and present your defense to a jury if necessary.
