Defending California Clients Accused of Recklessly Causing a Death

At The Law Offices of Kenneth L. Schreiber, I am a criminal defense attorney who has over 35 years of experience handling a wide range of cases, including vehicular manslaughter. I take the time to examine all aspects of the situation, including the violation of any police enforcement procedures during the arrest or investigation, and any violation of your civil rights throughout the gathering of evidence and materials by the police.

Frequently when a person is killed in a car accident, police and law enforcement are quick to jump the gun and make assumptions about the situation. This can often lead to charges that are designed to see that you plead and accept time in state prison as a punishment. However, there can be considerable amounts of evidence that the police may have missed in their haste to file charges, which may be used to exonerate you.

Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Driving Under the Influence

If someone is driving drunk and causes the death of another individual, charges of gross vehicular manslaughter may result. This is an extremely serious offense that may be added onto already-filed DUI charges. The type of punishment that may be handed down can range from probation to 10 years in prison for each person who died as the result of the drunk driver's negligence. Aspects of the case must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, however − such as the measured level of intoxication at the time of the DUI-car accident or the moving violation or illegal action that was committed during the intoxicated operation of the vehicle.
