Homicide

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.

  • “You always made sure I was protected and secure.”
    It is unfortunate that we had to meet under the circumstances that we did, however, I am very privileged to have met you and your daughter, Erica Madrid. During the time you were my attorney, you and your daughter always treated me with the most respect. You ALWAYS listened and paid attention to all the details of my case. The matter in which you treated me and my case is just amazingly great, I felt as if I was the most important client you had. You always made sure I was protected and secure. These past three months have been the longest three months of my life. I just could not move on with my life, it was as if my life was put on hold! Every court appointment that we had, you ALWAYS represented me with the most professionalism, which says a lot of your law firm. My preliminary hearing date came up and I was very nervous, scared, and I just was not myself. The entire preliminary hearing was very intense, however, I always felt so confident in my attorney representing me. After a long hour and a half, it came time for the judge to make a decision, and when the judge said "case dismissed," I could not hold back the tears and the emotions going through my mind and body, I felt so much joy! Right away, I was thanking The Lord for the blessing of continuing on with my life. I was able to breathe without feeling afraid. There are no words to express to you and your team how thankful I am for all the hard work that was put in into my case. Thank you for fighting for me, my life, and my family! God Bless you, your family, and your law firm. May you continue to service others like the way you and your law firm did for me.
    - S.P.
