Murder & Homicide Attorney in Los Angeles

A murder charge is the most serious criminal charge a person can face. The penalties — decades in prison, life without parole, or death in capital cases — demand the most thorough and aggressive defense possible. Rana Parsanj defends clients charged with murder and homicide throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties.

Homicide Charges Rana Defends

Rana handles first degree murder (PC 187), second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter (PC 192(a)), involuntary manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, felony murder, attempted murder (PC 664/187), and murder with special circumstances allegations.

How Rana Defends Homicide Cases

Murder cases demand a defense built from the ground up — reviewing every piece of discovery, consulting forensic experts, challenging witness identifications, and scrutinizing the prosecution’s theory of the crime. Rana evaluates every viable defense: self-defense, heat of passion (which can reduce first degree murder to manslaughter), imperfect self-defense, and mental health diversion where applicable.

Where the facts support it, Rana takes murder cases to trial. He has secured dismissals after trial and has negotiated significant charge reductions — including results that eliminated strike consequences for clients under California’s Three Strikes law.
