Are You Looking for an Experienced Homicide Attorney in New Jersey?

Facing homicide charges is one of the most serious and life-altering experiences anyone can endure. Whether you or someone you love is under investigation or already charged, it’s crucial to have a dedicated and experienced legal team in your corner. If you’re in New Jersey and searching for a homicide attorney who understands both the gravity of the charges and how to fight them—Ratliff Jackson is here for you.

Why Homicide Charges Require Skilled Legal Representation

Homicide charges—including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, and felony murder—carry some of the most severe penalties under New Jersey law. A conviction can result in decades in prison, a life sentence, or even the possibility of parole being permanently denied.

The stakes are high. Your future, your freedom, and your reputation are on the line. That’s why you need more than just any attorney—you need one with deep experience in homicide defense and a proven strategy for success.

Types of Homicide Cases We Handle in New Jersey

• Voluntary and Involuntary Manslaughter – Including cases of provocation or negligence

• Felony Murder – Death occurring during the commission of another felony
