The Law Offices of Scott David Stewart
Phoenix Murder Defense Lawyers
Due to the fact that most homicides are crimes of passion, investigators often suspect husbands, wives, family, friends, or neighbors in the majority of murder cases. Unless an eyewitness claims they saw the accused kill the victim, murder cases involve forensic evidence, testimony related to the accused and the victim, and the establishment of motive. As your criminal defense legal team, the Phoenix murder defense lawyers at the Law Office of Scott David Stewart work closely with our own investigators, forensic experts, psychologists, and lab technicians to undermine the prosecution’s case against you. We interview witnesses whose testimony challenges the claims of the prosecution, with the goal of establishing reasonable doubt in the mind of jurors.
Regardless of how strong the evidence or case against you may appear, we have the legal and expert witness resources necessary to effectively challenge the case against you.

Facing Murder Charges
The homicide defense attorneys at Scott David Stewart represent clients charged with the following:
- First degree murder
- Second degree murder
- Manslaughter
- Conspiracy to commit murder
Evidence and Forensics
A crime scene can be deceptive – how things appear at first sight is not always what they appear to be in the lab and vice versa. Our murder defense attorneys hire blood spatter experts, firearms specialists, crime scene investigators, chemical analysts, and other professionals to determine what can and cannot be established from the evidence collected at a crime scene. We challenge the prosecution’s conclusions and carefully review how evidence was collected, handled, and analyzed.
Establishing Intent
In addition to proving you actually committed the act that resulted in the loss of the victim’s life, the prosecution must also establish that you knowingly intended to do so. Working with psychologists and the testimony of witnesses, we undermine the prosecution’s claims about your state of mind, what you knew and when you knew it, as well as what prompted you to act.
