Murder, Manslaughter and Related Offenses

Criminal defense Lawyers serving clients in Louisiana and Texas

There is no crime more serious than murder. If you have been charged with murder, the attorney you choose could be the most important decision of your lifetime.

First and foremost, you want an attorney that has the dedication and resolve to handle a criminal case of the highest magnitude. A murder charge is not a sprint, it is a marathon. If your attorney does not have the patience to painstakingly sort through every tiny detail of your case, your ability to receive a favorable result will suffer greatly.

Second, you want an attorney that has trial experience, because many murder cases go to trial. Unlike any other charge, murder charges are highly political. Prosecutors do not want to look like they gave a murderer a sweetheart plea bargain, so they are motivated to seek a plea agreement that will send you to jail for most of your life or take their chances at trial.

Third, you want an attorney that knows when to be aggressive and when to be smart. Attorneys that are aggressive 24/7 fail to see opportunities that may present themselves during the course of a criminal case.

Our Attorneys offer all of these Attributes

At The Law Offices of Jermaine D. Williams, we know how to effectively handle complex criminal cases. Our founding attorney, Jermaine D. Williams, is a former prosecutor with more than a decade of legal experience. He is joined by attorney Olita Magee Domingue, a respected criminal defense attorney in her own right.

Together, our criminal defense attorneys work diligently to provide quality legal representation that is experienced, pro-active and effective. We have won acquittals at trial for clients charged with murder and other serious felony crimes. Our attorneys handle all murder charges and related offenses, including:

  • First degree murder
  • Second degree murder
  • Manslaughter
  • Negligent homicide
  • Vehicular homicide

As dedicated advocates, we leave no stone unturned in our effort to receive a positive result for each client we serve.

Our Promise to You

Unfortunately, no attorney can guarantee a particular result in a particular case. What we can guarantee, however, is that we will do everything in our power and within the law to provide the most zealous defense possible on your behalf. If retained to handle your case, we will fully commit ourselves to the protection of your life and liberty. That is what we would want if we ever found ourselves in peril, so that is what we provide to each person we serve.
