Orange County Vehicular Manslaughter Attorney
California Criminal Defense Lawyer
Vehicular manslaughter, often associated with other driving offenses such as DUI (driving under the influence) or hit and run, involves a death unintentionally caused due to negligence or recklessness on the part of a driver.
Working with an experienced lawyer if you have been charged with vehicular manslaughter is often the only way you can avoid criminal charges and a conviction. My name is Barney B. Gibbs, and I am an Orange county criminal defense lawyer who has been practicing criminal law in Southern California for over 25 years. I understand what goes into defending a vehicular manslaughter case, and what defenses are workable. I handle cases throughout Orange County, including Anaheim, Irvine, Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Fullerton and Newport Beach.
There are a number of ways I, as a defense attorney, may be able to successfully defend your vehicular manslaughter case:
- Conducting an independent chemical analysis of blood alcohol test results, if you are accused of DUI.
- Reconstructing the accident to prove you were not at fault.
- Interviewing witnesses and any other drivers involved in the accident to prove that you did not cause the accident.
- Proving that poor road or weather conditions, or another driver, was the cause of the accident.
