What you need to know about a DUI manslaughter charge

  • Talk to no one, especially the police, before consulting an attorney.
  • People who have been charged with DUI or DUI manslaughter often have underlying substance abuse or emotional problems.
  • DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide charges come with serious consequences, including significant prison time, the payment of fines and the revocation of their driver's license.
  • Do not leave the scene – if you do, you may be facing additional charges including hit-and-run and fleeing the police.

What sets us apart

Because we accept a limited number of cases each year, our firm is able to devote the time needed to seek the best possible outcome for your DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide case. We make sure that clients receive any needed treatment and counseling for underlying issues. Some of our clients have been able to spend time in a mental health facility in lieu of jail time. Whenever appropriate, we go to trial on these cases, developing a strong argument that fights the charges and demonstrates mitigating circumstances. We do whatever is needed to help the client move past the charge and begin again.

How we handle your DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide case

We use experienced crime scene experts and accident reconstructionists to verify the facts of the case. We work with medical experts who testify to the mental issues a client may be facing. We are discreet, and we support you and your loved ones throughout the process of defending you against DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide charges. We work hard to keep you out of prison.
