New York Homicide Attorney
You Deserve to Have an Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney in Your Corner
No crime has higher stakes than murder. Other forms of homicide, such as manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, also result in severe prison sentences.
Prosecutors almost always seek the maximum penalty in homicide cases. Although New York no longer has the death penalty, in certain situations, the maximum sentence includes life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In almost any murder case, a person will face a sentence of at least 25 years to life in state prison if convicted.
Because of the severity and seriousness of these charges, only the most skilled and experienced prosecutors handle these cases. If you or a loved one is facing a homicide charge, you will need extremely skilled and qualified New York criminal defense counsel.
At the Law Office of Mark A. Bederow, P.C., we have handled some of the most serious, complex, and high-profile criminal cases over the last 20 years. You can count on us to defend you aggressively.

Why Choose the Law Office of Mark A. Bederow, P.C.
If you are up against the criminal justice system facing charges as serious as homicide or murder, you need a trusted New York City homicide defense lawyer on your side. The sooner you consult with the Law Office of Mark A. Bederow, P.C., the sooner we can start crafting your defense.
One example of Mr. Bederow’s successful defense in a high-profile murder case is when he represented a former FBI supervisor who was indicted by the Brooklyn District Attorney for four counts of murder under the theory that he passed secret government information to his informant, a notorious Mafia member, who then murdered four individuals.
In a trial that attracted worldwide attention, the defense systematically and methodically destroyed the prosecution's case, witness by witness, through devastating cross-examination. This culminated in the prosecution moving to dismiss all charges in the middle of the trial because their case had been eviscerated.
If you or a loved one is under investigation or has been arrested for homicide, contact New York criminal defense lawyer Mr. Bederow at (212) 256-9491 to set up a confidential consultation.
Testimonials

Mark Bederow came to the rescue on the worst day of my life. He represented me after a manic episode in 2016 during which I'd been violent. (At the time I was untreated and unmedicated for bipolar 1. I wrote a book about my very fortunate journey to acceptance and better health called BURN RATE: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, published 2022.) Under Mark's care, the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged. Forever grateful to Mark for shining light during the darkest days of my life. He is a wonderful human being and an outstanding attorney, and it is a privilege that I was able to work with him. I feel lucky, and I wish Mark's services for anyone dealing with anything, including a mental health issue that becomes a criminal matter.- A.D.

We have dealt with many lawyers in the past several years and 99% of them want the most amount of money to do the least amount of work. Mark Bederow is not your typical lawyer. He’s the only lawyer I’ve ever met that actually listens to his client’s suggestions and utilizes their input, and if he doesn’t he explains why. I’ve never met a lawyer as intelligent, passionate about winning, and completely in his client’s corner. Mark Bederow is brilliant, he is a champion of justice, and his love for the law is evident as he relentlessly fights for his clients. He is definitely the best criminal lawyer in NYC, and quite possibly NY State.- A.F.
