Pennsylvania Death Penalty and Murder Defense Attorney
When faced with murder, it is critical that you work with a highly experienced and skilled defense attorney. At Miller, Poole & Lord, LLP, we are experienced in handling murder cases, including those cases in which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is seeking the death penalty.
Our firm has tried more capital cases than any firm in York County. We have gone to trial in a significant number of death penalty cases and have a strong record for obtaining acquittals. Contact us today to speak directly to a death penalty defense lawyer.

Our attorneys are certified to handle capital cases and have a strong reputation in Pennsylvania for our record of results, including acquittals in death penalty cases.
We take a comprehensive and aggressive approach in murder and violent crimes cases. Our attorneys always remain mindful of the high stakes and meticulously investigate every aspect of the case. We understand that the smallest details can make the difference between an acquittal and a conviction - and we handle every case accordingly.

- Domestic violence
- Voluntary and involuntary manslaughter
- Accidental homicides
- Appeals from criminal convictions
