The Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, has represented clients facing charges of murder, manslaughter, rape, and sexual molestation.

Many attorneys do not have the experience or savvy to effectively represent their clients, who face dire consequences. We pride ourselves on our experience and success in defending our clients facing capital crimes charges.

Representing a client charged with a capital crime requires constant attention to the client and to the details. That includes forcing the court to go through the lengthy formal readings of all the statements. The defendant must be present at all hearings and meetings. The most successful capital crime attorneys work with their clients one-on-one in going through the evidence, discovery, motions, and witness statements.

We take the court proceedings surrounding capital crimes very seriously. Too much is at stake, and you need an attorney who is dedicated to ensuring that you get a fair trial and your rights are protected.
