Being accused of murder or homicide is one of the most serious situations anyone can face. A conviction could mean decades—or even life—in prison. At Edward Johnson & Associates, P.C., we provide aggressive, strategic defense for clients charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, and other violent crimes throughout Chicago and the greater metro area.
Illinois law distinguishes between multiple types of homicide, each carrying severe penalties:
