Accidents involving fatal or serious injuries are usually resolved through civil tort litigation. But serious highway accidents involving circumstances such as driving while intoxicated, engaging in pursuit or reckless driving can be charged as felonies such as homicide, manslaughter or assault. Our goal as your defense counsel is to gather the evidence necessary to demonstrate your innocence or expose the weaknesses in the state's case to reduce the charges through plea negotiations.

In felony accident cases involving intoxication with alcohol or drugs, the prosecution needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that you were intoxicated and (2) that your intoxication caused the accident.

Our criminal defense attorneys also represent people facing felony or repeat DUI charges, and other serious motor vehicle offenses such as driving without insurance, driving under suspension, or hit-and-run driving without evidence of intoxication.
