Homicide Protecting Your Freedom

Clarksville Homicide Attorney

What is Homicide?

Homicide is legally defined as the killing of one human being by another human being. Although many people use the terms homicide and murder synonymously, these terms are actually different.

Homicide vs. Murder

The intent behind the act is what determines whether a homicide can be classified as murder. There are instances of homicide which are not considered as criminal acts and are regarded as fully justifiable. For example, the killing of an individual who is threatening you with serious physical injury or death could be deemed to have been a necessary act of self-defense.

Where homicide and murder are the same is in the prosecution's burden of proof to show a court of law that the actions that killed the victim are criminal. One may not intend to kill another individual, but that individual dies as a result of their driving under the influence. While it is not the same as first degree murder, it can still be deemed criminally negligent and yield serious time.

What are the Penalties for a Homicide Conviction?

You do have rights, and in this serious legal situation, they must be carefully protected. When you contact the attorneys at the firm they can immediately begin review of your case in order to protect your rights and advise you of what defense actions could be initiated to help you fight back to protect your rights and freedom.

Homicide, in the eyes of the law, usually falls under one of the following categories:

  • Reckless homicide
  • Criminally negligent homicide
  • Vehicular homicide
  • 1st, 2nd or 3rd Degree Murder
  • Wrongful death

    “I can honestly say I was not disappointed.”

    I took a trip out to TN and got in to some trouble in Clarksville and needed representation for a case while I was I back in my home state. I went to Grimes, Sensing & Clemons feeling distraught and like I had no hope, seeking a solid defense attorney that would actually fight for my case and get me the best possible deal. I left feeling comfortable and confident. I can honestly say I was not disappointed, the only time I needed to come back to TN was for the sentencing(mind you cases may differ) and unbelievably Jeffery Grimes was able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and get a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor as well as talk down the court fines... I strongly suggest Jeffery Grimes as your defense attorney for any legal issues you may have, also their fees are very reasonable and they will do payment plans. Thank you very much Grimes, Sensing and Clemons.

    “The outcome for my request was better than I could have hoped for.”

    I hired Mr Sensing to assist me with the modification of a parenting plan that just wasn’t working anymore. I hired another lawyer in the Clarksville area that did not do their due diligence. Mr Sensing and his team were great throughout the process. Emails and phone calls were actually returned in a timely manner! Which wasn’t the case with the lawyer I used before. I had access to all my court documents and was always kept informed on what was going on with my case. Lastly Mr Sensing is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field. The outcome for my request was better than I could have hoped for, and I honestly feel like that was due to Mr Sensing.

    “Best defense lawyer you could ask for.”

    Grimes is the best defense lawyer you could ask for. He was able to take what would generally be a felony for sure and get it down to a misdemeanor and a fine. If you have him as your lawyer, you won't have anything to worry about.

    “Fought with me the whole 2 years my case took for me to get the time with my son I’ve always wanted.”

    Mr. Sensing is an excellent attorney. He fought with me the whole 2 years my case took for me to get the time with my son I’ve always wanted. I will definitely recommend his services to anyone and I will be going back to him if I have any issues in the future. Also Pat and Amy are awesome!!
