Experienced Criminal Defense in Homicide Cases
Criminal homicide charges are going to be pursued very aggressively by the prosecutor's office. Homicide cases are also complex, with multiple hearings and stages of the criminal process.
Take a strong stand in your own defense if you are facing murder or manslaughter charges — obtain legal representation from criminal defense attorneys who are committed to protecting your rights and freedom every step of the way.
Experience With Hundreds of Homicide Cases
Farrell & Kozlowski, Attorneys at Law, is a small criminal defense law firm located in downtown Pittsburgh, just blocks from the Allegheny County Courthouse. Our attorneys have decades of experience with criminal law, and we have handled hundreds of homicide cases at all stages of the proceedings — from preliminary hearing through plea negotiations, trial, and appeals.
A Death-Penalty Certified Criminal Defense Attorney
Both of our partners — Thomas N. Farrell and Sandra A. Kozlowski — are former employees of the Allegheny County district attorney's office. Attorney Thomas N. Farrell is also a former state deputy attorney general who is certified by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to handle capital murder cases — homicide cases in which the death penalty is a sentencing option.
Death penalty certification is formal recognition by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court of an attorney's qualifications to handle these most complex of homicide cases. To obtain such certification, the attorney must meet rigorous requirements, including a minimum number of years in criminal law practice and a minimum number of criminal trials handled.
Representation Through Every Stage of the Proceedings
Cases involving murder or deadly assault are particularly complex. The proceedings that occur before and after the trial can be as important — if not more so — than the trial itself. At Farrell & Kozlowski, Attorneys at Law, we are 100 percent dedicated to fighting for our clients at every stage of the proceedings, from the pre-arrest investigation through every possible appeal in the event of a guilty verdict.
