With the Milwaukee homicide rate soaring, more people than ever before are seeking a tenacious Milwaukee murder lawyer.

When facing manslaughter charges such as first degree intentional homicide, your murder case requires an aggressive, experienced team of criminal defense attorneys. If you've been accused of first-degree intentional homicide, or are seeking legal representation for a first-degree intentional charge, our dedicated team of superior Milwaukee murder attorneys are available for a FREE consultation.

Wisconsin Statute 940.01 defines first-degree intentional homicide as an act committed by any person causing the death of another person with the intent to kill that person or another. First degree intentional homicide is a Class A Felony offense.

If you are convicted of first degree intentional homicide, a first degree intentional charge will send you to prison for the rest of your life. And even though a second degree intentional homicide charge carries 40 years, that's not much better and similar to a lifetime. A judge may or may not allow extended supervision.

Wisconsin penalty for Second Degree Intentional Homicide:

• 60 years in prison

First Degree Reckless Homicide (covered in Section 940.02 of the Wisconsin Statutes) carries a penalty of 60 years in prison. Mitigating circumstances may reduce the penalty to 40 years in prison.

Second Degree Reckless Homicide carries a 25 year prison sentence and/or a $100,000 fine. The breakdown of the time served can be considered as two parts. The first is the initial confinement of the Class D felony of 15 years in prison, followed by 10 years of extended supervision.

When you are facing homicide charges in Milwaukee, or anywhere in Wisconsin, you need the homicide defense lawyers Milwaukee depends upon for the best homicide defense. The penalties for negligent operation of a vehicle are still considerably severe. They involve 10 years in prison and/or fines of up to $25,000. This Class G felony is still a very severe charge.

Homicide law has many facets and defenses, but an important one to remember is the “felony murder rule.” If you and others are robbing a bank, for example, and one or more of you is armed and someone is killed, you will be held liable for a homicide committed in this situation even if the actual act was done by someone else. Similar to a conspiracy, you are liable for all of the “natural and probable consequences” of the felony you and the others are committing.
