Homicide & Murder Defense in Ontario, CA
Few charges are as serious as homicide or murder. A conviction can mean life in prison — or worse — along with devastating impacts on your family and future. These cases are highly complex and prosecutors fight aggressively to secure convictions. That’s why you need an experienced defense team on your side from day one.
At GBART Law, we take a thorough, strategic approach to every homicide case, examining every piece of evidence and challenging the state’s narrative at every turn.
What You’re Facing
Homicide cases in California can take several forms:
- First-degree murder: Intentional and premeditated killings.
- Second-degree murder: Killings without premeditation but still involving intent or reckless disregard for life.
- Manslaughter: Killings without malice, such as in the heat of passion or through negligence.
Penalties range from lengthy prison terms to life without parole. With enhancements like weapons use or multiple victims, the stakes can rise even higher.
How We Defend Homicide Cases
No two cases are the same. We focus on exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, using strategies such as:
- Challenging forensic evidence, lab testing, and autopsy reports
- Questioning the credibility of witnesses and informants
- Demonstrating self-defense or defense of others
- Proving lack of intent or accidental death
- Highlighting misconduct or constitutional violations by law enforcement
Our goal is simple: to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future.
