Results vary from case to case, but a good legal defense against DUI manslaughter charges may result in a not guilty verdict from a jury; it may result in a plea to lesser charges; or it could result in more moderate penalties if convicted. In Wisconsin, the consequences are very severe:
- Possibly years in prison
- Fines and costs that can be thousands of dollars
- Years of probation or extended supervision
- Revocation of your driving privileges
- The sentence could include absolute sobriety, not going into bars, restitution
DUI manslaughter is a felony. Being convicted of a felony will impact your ability to find a job, to get a loan, to buy a house or rent an apartment. It is life altering. A drunk driver who causes a fatal auto accident needs experienced, effective representation. I offer 30 years of legal practice in more than 350 trials. I offer a free, initial consultation so that you can determine if I am the right lawyer for you. I make certain that it costs you nothing to meet with me and find out how I assess your DUI manslaughter case. I am a very aggressive defense attorney because I believe everyone has a right to vigorous legal representation.
In court, prosecutors must prove two things. First, they have to prove that the driver’s ability to opearate was impaired or blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit. Second, they must also prove that the accident was caused by the person who has been charged with DUI manslaughter or that they contributed to the accident. Those two requirements make room for a defense attorney to challenge the evidence the authorities collected, whether it was the conclusion of accident investigators or those who administered the alcohol level tests.
My knowledge of Wisconsin law has been strengthened by my work as an assistant district attorney, a public defender and as a municipal judge. I pride myself on the knowledge I am able to bring to a case, including a DUI manslaughter defense. I want my clients to understand the particular charge they face, the consequences and the legal options. That is why I urge you to set up a free, initial meeting with me to go over your case. It costs nothing and you stand to gain information to help you decide what to do next.
DUI manslaughter is an extremely serious charge.
