North Carolina Homicide Charges You Could Face

When we take on your homicide case, one of the first things we do is determine your specific charges. Were you charged with murder or manslaughter? If a vehicle was involved in the death, you might face a different charge. Thus, you could face any of the following:

  • Murder
  • Manslaughter
  • Vehicular Homicide

Each of these offenses takes a different approach and each can have different legal consequences.  Some of our clients face multiple criminal charges.  In such cases, our attorneys are capable of managing the complexities.  Once we understand the specifics of your North Carolina homicide case, we can start to implement your defense.
