Manslaughter is one of the most complicated statutes in New York criminal law. Manslaughter in the first and/or second degree are usually alternative charges to murder if the defendant is accused of killing someone unintentionally.

If you are charged with manslaughter in Rochester, it is critical to hire a lawyer experienced and successful in defending murder and manslaughter charges in Monroe County.
