Murder and homicide allegations carry some of the most serious consequences in the criminal justice system.
Shannon Frison provides strategic defense for individuals facing murder, homicide, manslaughter, and other serious violent crime allegations.
As a retired Massachusetts Superior Court Judge and experienced trial attorney, Shannon brings a distinctive perspective to complex criminal matters involving serious allegations, extensive evidence, and significant personal and legal consequences.
"Serious allegations require careful analysis, disciplined preparation, and an individualized defense strategy."
A murder or homicide investigation can involve complex factual, forensic, procedural, and legal questions.
The circumstances surrounding the incident, the prosecution's theory, witness accounts, physical evidence, digital evidence, expert analysis, and the accused person's intent can all become important issues.
Effective representation begins with understanding exactly what happened, what the government must prove, what evidence exists, and where that evidence may be challenged.
Shannon approaches serious criminal matters with careful preparation and a strategy tailored to the facts and circumstances of each case.
Depending on the facts, allegations, and applicable law, serious violent crime matters may involve issues related to:
Defense involving murder allegations and the specific elements the prosecution must establish under applicable law.
Representation in serious criminal matters involving allegations that another person's death resulted from criminal conduct.
Cases involving allegations of voluntary or involuntary manslaughter and disputes concerning intent, circumstances, and criminal responsibility.
Matters in which a homicide allegation is connected to the commission or alleged commission of another felony.
Serious cases involving allegations that conduct involving a motor vehicle resulted in another person's death.
Cases in which prosecutors allege that an individual participated in, assisted, encouraged, or shared responsibility for conduct committed by another person.
