The Law Offices of Bruce M. Margolin, Esq., California Violent Crime Defense

Defending a client against a charge of murder, attempted murder or manslaughter requires every weapon in the defense attorney’s arsenal. Juries are reluctant to acquit a defendant charged with committing a homicide, even if the prosecution’s case is weak.

Veteran criminal defense attorney Bruce M. Margolin, the California attorney best known for advocating for the reform of marijuana laws, is a skilled and seasoned trial lawyer who has effectively represented many defendants in murder cases. His nationally known firm handles many types of cases, including:

  • vehicular manslaughter
  • premeditated murder (first degree murder)
  • murder committed during the commission of a burglary, robbery or other felony
  • second-degree and unintentional murder
  • kidnappings that ended in the victim’s death
  • causing the death of a fetus or another human being

If you have been charged with any of these crimes, don't compromise your freedom. Arrange a free initial consultation with a skilled manslaughter defense team. 

The Law Offices of Bruce M. Margolin, Esq. is also experienced in appellate representation of murder defendants in both state and federal court. In one of many notable recent cases (People v. Humphrey, B164388), the felony murder conviction of Bruce Margolin’s client was reversed on appeal for the second time when Mr. Margolin objected that the district attorney had acted outside the scope of the facts before the jury.

  • prosecutorial misconduct at trial
  • improperly obtained search warrants
  • unlawful search or seizure
  • inadmissible testimony and evidence
  • unreliable witnesses
  • improper instructions to the jury
  • self-defense, framing and insanity
  • Miranda warning violations

Murder defense requires methodical investigation, thorough preparation and experience. Bruce Margolin has practiced criminal defense throughout California for over 30 years. He is quick on his feet and has confidence in his ability to promptly object and communicate points of law to the judge and jury.
