Murder and Homicide

Defending You on Murder Charges

If you have been charged with murder or homicide, the government is making a very serious accusation against you. They are going to put a lot of resources into convicting you, and you need a lawyer who will fight back.

At The Law Firm of John H. Read II, P.C., we believe in the vigorous defense of the accused and do not shy away from taking murder, homicide and violent crime cases. Contact us at our offices in Dallas-Fort Worth to schedule a free initial consultation about your charges.

The Experience You Badly Need

Many criminal defense lawyers go through their entire career without trying a murder case. Attorney John Read has handled more than 400 murder cases, taking more than 100 of them to trial. You will be hard pressed to find an attorney in Texas who has greater experience defending people accused of murder and homicide.

It is particularly crucial to have a highly experienced attorney when the prosecutor seeks the death penalty. Unfortunately, far too many capital murder cases do not receive any attention from experienced lawyers until after the trial, when it is too late to fully defend the interests of the accused.

Attorney John Read has extensive capital murder trial experience and has helped clients avoid the death penalty.

A murder or homicide charge is not something you will want to face without a lawyer who has been there before. Contact us to get our experience on your side.

Putting Aside Emotions, Looking at the Facts

A murder or homicide case is always a tragic situation because someone has died. However, that person may or may not have been killed by the person who is charged with the crime. Furthermore, there are situations like self-defense and home defense where the government says a death is excusable.

When one person is charged for the killing of another, it is ultimately the jury's responsibility to determine what really happened. If your case goes to trial, we will encourage the jury to take this responsibility extremely seriously.
