Raleigh Homicide and Murder Defense Attorney

Tenacious defense of murder charges in North Carolina

Homicide is probably the most serious crime you can face. Your freedom, your future and quite possibly your life depend on the outcome of your case.

Raleigh criminal defense lawyer Thomas C. Manning has handled more than 50 first-degree murder cases and countless second-degree and manslaughter cases. His vast courtroom experience includes 23 capital murder cases tried to verdict. Since 1983, Attorney Manning has always had at least one capital case in the works.

His goal in each case, capital or not, is to obtain the best possible outcome for clients based on the facts of their case. Results include dismissed charges, a plea agreement, acquittal, a finding of guilty of a lesser offense, or a reduced sentence upon conviction.

Murder cases in which the State is seeking the death penalty are particularly challenging, and Manning has extensive experience in handling and trying cases in which the prosecution begins the case seeking the death penalty. Working to remove the death penalty from consideration and then working for a lesser outcome or acquittal is a set of skills which Manning has mastered over 30 years of handling murder cases.
