Columbus Manslaughter Attorneys

There are a number of manslaughter offenses. Below is a listing of manslaughter offenses and more information on each one.

There is no criminal case more sensitive or consequences more serious than when a person loses their life.  Depending on the nature and severity of the allegations, manslaughter can be charged as a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail to a first degree felony, punishable by up to 11 years in prison.

Simply put, if you are convicted of manslaughter, it will be on your criminal background for the rest of your life. No matter what the circumstances were in your case, your life will never be the same. Therefore, it is critical that you give the defense of your manslaughter charge the highest level of importance.

The Columbus manslaughter attorneys at Luftman, Heck & Associates will take an aggressive and comprehensive approach when representing clients charged with manslaughter. First and foremost, we will figure out what mistakes the police or detectives made during their investigation, whether your arrest was lawful, if there were any problems in the collection, storage or testing of evidence and any other legal issues that can be raised on your behalf.

We do this by requesting discovery from the prosecutor and by conducting our own investigation. The discovery will generally consist of police reports, additional investigative notes, lab reports and potentially video or audio.

Our investigation will consist of going to the scene, interviewing all witnesses and potentially hiring a private detective for further investigation.  As our client, you will receive a copy of everything received from the prosecutor and our investigation for your review

Based on the legal weaknesses in the State of Ohio’s case and any other mitigating factors, we will negotiate the best possible plea available with the prosecutor for you to consider in resolving your case.

If your case cannot be resolved satisfactorily with a plea, it would then proceed to a motion hearing (a hearing where the judge issues a ruling on an evidentiary issue) or a trial to the judge or jury, depending on the circumstances.
