If you have been accused of intoxicated manslaughter (also called vehicular homicide) or intoxicated assault, the charges are serious. The prosecutor will be under a great deal of pressure to make the charges stick and to ask for a severe punishment.

You need a lawyer on your side who will make sure that your rights are protected, that your story is accurately told, and that you are treated fairly. Intoxicated manslaughter and intoxicated assault cases tend to be emotional and generate a lot of media attention.

You do not have to face this alone. You can have a criminal defense lawyer with experience (including experience as a judge and prosecutor) who cares about what happens to you — for a reasonable fee.

• Were you intoxicated at the time of the car accident? If there is doubt, I will challenge the accuracy of the tests used to determine intoxication.
• Was the accident due to your alleged intoxication or was it caused by someone else's mistake or inevitable circumstances?
• I will do a thorough accident investigation to make sure that all the facts presented are accurate. What or who actually caused the accident? Being intoxicated does not mean you are inevitably to blame for a fatality.
• If you plea guilty or if a jury finds you guilty of intoxication manslaughter or intoxication assault, are there mitigating circumstances that should be applied? Mitigating circumstances (your reputation, your lack of a criminal record, your driving record, your family ties) can mean a lesser charge, probation, or a lesser sentence.
