Homicide / Death Penalty

Cleveland, Ohio, Capital Murder Attorney Harvey B. Bruner

Defense of homicide cases requires bold lawyering and nerves of steel. I am known for my aggressive representation of suspects even in the most challenging murder cases—including cases where the death penalty is a real possibility.

Contact me to schedule a consultation if you or a loved one has been charged with capital murder, attempted murder, or any variety of homicide or manslaughter, including vehicular manslaughter with DUI complications. No matter how much public sentiment is amassed against my client, I stay focused and determined to hold prosecutors to the only acceptable standard in criminal law: proof beyond all shadow of a doubt.

A Rare Breed

In the Cleveland, Ohio, area where I practice criminal law, there are few lawyers who do as much federal and state defense work as I do. My years of experience and my in-depth familiarity with local law enforcement, prosecutors, and help me effectively represent clients who have been charged with capital murder or any other classification of homicide.

There Are No Shortcuts to an Aggressive Defense

My approach to homicide defense never involves shortcuts or preconceived notions. I communicate closely with investigators, defendants, witnesses, law enforcement, and prosecutors in pursuit of the truth about the alleged crime and about the arrest.

In the early stages of a capital murder case, I sit alone with all the evidence and apply my analytical skills to the development of the strongest possible defense on behalf of my client. Investigators who work for me obtain DNA evidence if necessary. Law clerks and paralegals assist me with the details of the case, but the hard thinking that goes into the preparation of an aggressive defense is ultimately mine.

I Am a Tough Trial Attorney

When it comes time for a trial, my photographic memory serves me well. My clients' rights and welfare are protected as I respond intelligently to any surprise that may come up in a capital murder or any other type of homicide trial.
