Los Angeles Attempted Murder Attorney

Attempted Murder Lawyer in LA

If a person has acted deliberately and intentionally with extreme disregard for human life attempting to inflict fatal bodily injury on another person, then that person may be charged with attempted murder.

Although attempted murder charges are less severe than murder charges, the penalties are still severe and a conviction may result in 60 and up to 108 months in prison.

Attempt is a specific intent crime and according to California Penal Code section 664/187, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted intentionally and deliberately. The prosecution must not only prove that there was a specific intent but also that there was a substantial step taken towards the commission of the attempted crime.

As Criminal Defense Attorneys we investigate the charges and do everything we can to refute and contest all the evidence presented against our client. Lack of intent or self defense are the most common defense to attempted murder.
