Murder Lawyers Melbourne | Leanne Warren & Associates

Homicide

Homicide matters arise when deliberate, reckless, unlawful, dangerous, or criminally negligent acts result in the death of a human being.

Examples of homicide include:

Murder
Manslaughter
Defensive homicide
Culpable driving
Dangerous driving causing death

Penalties

These matters are usually heard in the Supreme Court or County Court, and at their highest can carry a sentence of life imprisonment for some offences.

Scientific Forensic procedures, such as fingerprint analysis, ballistics (the science of projectiles and firearms) and DNA evidence have an increasingly important role in homicide proceedings. We support our murder lawyers Melbourne continuing professional development in order to assure they stay fully informed of all recent developments in these fields and their impact on current law and defence of these charges.

"Just a short note to say thank you to you and your team for representing me in what was arguably the worst period in my life.

From the start you assured me that everything will work out and quite frankly, l didn’t believe you. l have learnt from you, that even if you make a mistake and ultimately take ownership, not only does it teach you: 1. Not to put yourself in that position again 2. You can be given a second chance 3. With the right Legal representation you can achieve a favourable result.

Thank You for trying to keep me calm throughout this long process. Wish you all the best in the future as mine looks rosy now."

All the best to you and your team,"
