Protecting your innocence-Preserving your future

Our homicide defense lawyer, Thomas Damico, uses effective strategies to ensure the evidence presented in court is not one-sided. We use our investigational skills and case preparation experience to represent your side of the story. As a result, charges may be reduced or an acquittal received. For example, murder charges may be reduced to negligent homicide or manslaughter charges - taking away the threat of the death penalty or life in prison.

As with many other criminal cases, there are certain factors that can enhance the charges, such as committing multiple crimes (such as robbery or rape in conjunction with murder), using a weapon, previous criminal record, and other factors. While in some cases, it is not possible to challenge the evidence surrounding the actual murder, it is still possible to challenge the evidence pertaining to the aggravating factors which enhance the sentence. We work to help our clients obtain the most favorable results, based on their facts.

An effective murder defense will not only protect your rights in court, but also out of court. We provide effective pre-indictment representation to ensure that overambitious law enforcement officers do not violate your rights in conducting their investigations. In addition, we do what is necessary to protect your confidence - when probed by the media for comment, we are skilled in keeping the attention away from you or your case.

If you have been arrested or indicted for first degree murder, homicide, manslaughter, or other violent crime, contact a tough defense attorney at our Baton Rouge law office. Free initial consultations are available. Consultations in prison facilities are available at a low fee.
