Results in the Most Challenging Cases

Our firm has been achieving desired results for clients facing the most serious of criminal charges — including death penalty cases — for decades. We have experience in defending high-profile homicide cases. In a case that drew international media attention, Bauer Crider & Parry, won the acquittal of a Spanish citizen who was wrongfully accused of first-degree murder and had spent five years on death row.

We do not practice homicide defense in order to make headlines; we do it because we care about our clients and we want to give them the best possible chance for a successful outcome.

Whether you are facing a charge of first-degree murder, DUI or Vehicular manslaughter, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your case. When the charges are this serious, it is extremely important to move quickly.

Investigating a Murder Case

We will investigate the facts and circumstances of your case. Our firm's full-time investigator will track down and interview witnesses before their memories fade. Our full-time investigator has over 30 years of experience in tracking down witnesses and helping to build the best defense possible.

Do not assume that you have no case just because you were charged with murder, homicide or DUI manslaughter. You are innocent until proven guilty. We will do everything within our power and everything within the law to achieve a positive resolution to your case. Whether we get the charges against you reduced or dismissed or win a not-guilty verdict at trial, you can depend on us for exceptional legal representation.

We Wrote the Book on Homicide Litigation

For 10 years, homicide defense attorney David Parry was asked by the Florida Public Defender Association to write and edit "Defending a Capital Case in Florida," a manual for criminal defense attorneys published by the Florida Public Defender Association. Mr. Parry has defended over 150 clients charged with first-degree murder. Few other private attorneys can match his experience and success in these complex and challenging cases.

Our homicide and manslaughter defense attorneys teach classes and seminars to lawyers throughout Florida on issues in homicide defense, such as jury selection, closing arguments and death penalty litigation. Our experience as public defenders, state attorneys and law enforcement officers has given us a unique understanding of the dynamics of these cases.
