We will help you or your loved one defend against AZ manslaughter charges defined under ARS 13-1103:

• Caused the negligent death of another person

• Provided the means for assisted suicide to an adult

• Caused an unborn child’s death by physically injuring the mother

Manslaughter is not murder; the elements of pre-meditation and intent are different. However, a carefully planned and researched defense strategy is imperative if you or your arrested family member want a fighting chance at exoneration. Blischak Law Firm will identify the defensible points of your charges and carry out your chosen approach.

Manslaughter Conviction Penalties Are Severe

Manslaughter is a second-degree felony. Several criminal elements, such as action, circumstances, and intent, influence the penalties associated with a conviction. For example, driving under the influence can be more complicated than involuntary manslaughter. As such, you could face an enhanced sentence, but only if prosecutors can prove their allegations beyond a reasonable doubt. In the event this has happened, contact our DUI/DWI defense attorneys in Phoenix to learn more.

Our Phoenix manslaughter attorneys will defend you against the following standard sentences per ARS 13-702:

• Presumptive: Up to five years
• Minimum: Up to four years
• Maximum: Up to ten years
• Mitigated: Up to three years
• Aggravated: Up to 12.5 years

Judges can increase or decrease these numbers according to the degree of severity proven by prosecutors and only after a jury trial conviction. However, due process of the law affords you a chance to challenge their theories, evidence, methodologies, assertions, and application of the law. If you hire us to represent your case, Blischak Law Firm will devote a significant focus of your defense around these concepts to identify where police and prosecutors may have gotten their allegations wrong.
