Angleton Murder Lawyer

How the Jeff Gilbert Law Office Can Help

At the Jeff Gilbert Law Office, we believe everyone deserves a fair trial and a vigorous defense, no matter how serious the charges. Our legal team works tirelessly to investigate the facts, analyze the evidence, and develop strategies to challenge the prosecution’s case.

We provide a comprehensive approach to defending murder charges, which includes:

• Thorough Investigation: We delve into every detail of your case, gathering evidence, reviewing police reports, and interviewing witnesses to uncover facts that could weaken the prosecution’s claims.
• Challenging Evidence: Murder cases often rely on forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, or confessions. We scrutinize the validity and reliability of this evidence, ensuring your rights are protected and any unlawfully obtained evidence is excluded.
• Building a Defense Strategy: Each case is unique, and we craft a defense tailored to your circumstances. This might include self-defense, mistaken identity, lack of intent, or questioning the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses.
• Negotiating Plea Agreements: In some cases, reducing the charges or penalties through negotiation may be the best option. We advocate strongly on your behalf to achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
• Representing You in Court: If your case goes to trial, our experienced trial attorneys will present a compelling defense, cross-examining witnesses, presenting evidence, and delivering persuasive arguments to the jury.

Our goal is to provide you with the strongest defense possible and fight tirelessly for your rights, freedom, and future.

Potential Defenses Against Murder Charges

When defending against murder charges, there are a variety of strategies that can be employed based on the facts of the case. At the Jeff Gilbert Law Office, we carefully assess your situation to determine the best possible defense, which may include:

• Self-Defense: Texas law allows individuals to defend themselves if they reasonably believe they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. If you acted in self-defense, we will work to demonstrate that your actions were justified.
• Mistaken Identity: Mistaken identity is a common issue in murder cases. Eyewitnesses can be unreliable, and forensic evidence can be misinterpreted. We challenge such evidence to prove you were not the perpetrator.
• Lack of Intent: Murder charges often hinge on proving intent. If the prosecution cannot establish that you acted with the intent to kill, we will use this to weaken their case.
• Insufficient Evidence: In some cases, the evidence against you may be circumstantial or inconclusive. We challenge the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by law.
• Violation of Rights: If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the investigation or arrest, such as through an illegal search or coercion, we will move to have that evidence suppressed.
