Arizona Manslaughter Charges Lawyer

If you have been charged with assault or homicide as a result of a motor vehicle accident, an experienced attorney can help protect your constitutional rights. Whether you had been drinking or were under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident, or the accident resulted from excessive speed or simple inattention at the wheel, you deserve a lawyer who understands the law and process, one who has protected the interests of others in similar circumstances.

Did You Know?

A car is considered a "dangerous instrument" because it can cause serious injury or death.

Whether the crash was an "accident" does not necessarily matter; you can be held criminally responsible as well as may have personal liability for any damages or injuries that resulted from an accident.

Vehicle crimes are treated very seriously in Maricopa County. The police and the county attorney's office have unit s dedicated to investigating and prosecuting vehicle crimes.

If you were in an accident, contact my office right away. The earlier my office is involved, the earlier we can begin working on your defense.

Phoenix Homicide Defense Lawyer

I aggressively protect the rights of people charged with assault or homicide involving the use of a motor vehicle, including vehicular manslaughter. I handle all levels of vehicular assault or homicide, including:

  • Aggravated Assault (Injury Caused by a Dangerous Instrument)
  • Negligent homicide
  • Manslaughter (if your actions were determined to be reckless)
  • 2nd degree murder (if you are alleged to have shown a reckless indifference to human life)

Whether you have been actually charged or simply believe you might be charged with assault or vehicular homicide, it is important that you contact me as soon as possible. With enough time, I can engage an accident reconstruction specialist and may be able to help you either minimize any charges filed or avoid charges altogether. Early preparation can also help me negotiate a plea bargain or determine that your interests will best be protected by defending your case in court.
