Representing Bay Area Residents Facing Vehicular Manslaughter Charges
As former prosecutors, the criminal defense lawyers at the Law Offices of Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman not only know what our clients face when charged with vehicular manslaughter, but also the tactics used by prosecutors to secure a conviction. That insight is invaluable and only part of the vast resources we possess to protect your rights and fight for the best outcome.
If you cause an accident by violating traffic laws or exercising negligence or gross negligence that results in a death, you will be charged with vehicular manslaughter. If alcohol played a role, fault of the accident is irrelevant. Assuming you are at fault, police will arrest you and prosecutors will pursue the following charges against you:
- Gross vehicular manslaughter
- Gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated
- Vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated
Our law firm has won numerous awards, including being named Criminal Defense Firm of the Year by San Jose Magazine.
You need to counter the resources of the police. Reports created by those officers and the California Highway Patrol are often rushed to completion and biased against you. From the moment you retain our firm, we get to work with the help of experts in conducting an independent toxicology analysis and accident reconstruction.
We know what is at stake. Misdemeanor convictions could put you in a county jail for one year. Felony conviction could result in up to 10 years in the state prison. Take immediate action. The sooner you have an attorney protecting your rights and performing immediate investigations, the better chances you have of achieving a more satisfactory outcome.
