Second Degree Murder

In Arizona, a conviction for second degree murder, even if it is the result of a traffic accident, has potentially grave consequences. Second degree murder carries the most serious legal repercussions possible, second only to first-degree murder. Second degree murder is a class 1 felony, and a conviction carries a sentence of 10 to 25 years for first time offenders.

A 15 to 20 year prison term is not unusual for a conviction on second degree murder charges as the result of a DUI-related traffic accident. When your personal freedom is at stake at this high level, you need the experienced representation of passionate, dedicated counsel.
