Homicide Defense Attorney in Chino
California Penal Code 187 (a) defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being or a fetus with malice aforethought. When you have the intention of ending another person's life out of anger or hatred, you may be tried with homicide or attempted murder. There are several different degrees of murder which you can be charged with; all of which require the representation of an immensely qualified legal professional from Madrid Law Firm.
- First Degree Murder
First degree murder is the act of killing another person using a device or explosive such as a gun or grenade. Premeditated, willful murder can be charged as first degree murder. - Capital Murder
This offense is similar to first degree murder, in that the crime was premeditated; however, capital murder is the unlawful killing of a person for financial gain, the murder of a law enforcement official, judge or juror or elected official or if you kill more than one person. There are more than twenty special circumstances which can fall under capital murder. - Second Degree Murder
Non-deliberate or premeditated murder, such as shooting a gun into a crowd or a DUI accident, can be considered a second degree murder. This felony is strictly defined under California Penal Code 187.

“If I had to describe The Madrid Law Firm in one word it would definitely be FAMILY.”
It was a Sunday morning, I was in my restroom, in tears, scared, lost and clueless when someone gave me the number to Ed Madrid. I immediately called, not knowing what to say, what to ask, or even if someone would answer (it was Sunday). Ed answered very politely, friendly and caring. He right away gave me comfort and walked me through what we needed to do to get on top of everything. My brother was charged with a very serious drug case, where he was facing 25 years to life. Never had we had to deal with anything remotely close to this so my family and I were scared, confused and saddened. When I walked in to meet with Ed and his daughter Erica, they right away made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They were very honest in giving me the information and at the same time caring as it wasn't easy to hear what my brother and my family would have to face in the process. We had millions of questions and it never mattered what time it was, Ed always answered and explained everything thoroughly. Initially my brother was facing 25 to life for the severity of the charge, Ed and Erica were able to drop it down to 7 – 9 years and, in the final sentencing, they brought it down to 5 years. My brother has currently served half of his sentence and The Madrid Law Firm has never stopped checking up on my family and I to make sure we are all doing ok. In March there was a sentence reduction amendment sent to congress that would benefit my brother, if passed. Ed is already on it! He's giving me the information and is ready to move forward as soon as the law is passed. I always had the impression that attorneys would be sneaky, take your money and when the case was closed they were done and that was the end of the story. Not with The Madrid Law Firm, they always stay in contact and make you feel like you're dealing with family. Thank you Ed for all your patience, your help and your friendship. My family and I will be forever grateful for all your help.- N.M. -

“I highly recommend Madrid Law Firm and I will recommend them to my family and friends!”
Erica is a great lawyer to work with. I had no idea what to do about my situation and she was able to help me with my case and get me a better deal with the court. She really helps to make sure you understand your situation and always answers any questions or concerns you may have. Even 3 years after my case I was able to call her and she was so sweet to take time out of her schedule to meet with me and answer some questions I had. I highly recommend Madrid Law Firm and I will recommend them to my family and friends!- Jennifer S. -
