Vehicular Manslaughter in California

Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys represent people facing all manner of criminal charges, and sometimes these charges can be quite gruesome.  For example, a woman in Bakersfield was run down and killed by a motorist who was allegedly under the influence.  The young man who hit the woman (a mother of eight) fled the scene, only to be picked up by police a short time later. 

The man is being charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence, hit and run and felony DUI.  In such a case as this, the penalties could include tremendous fines, years in prison and much more.  The man's bail is $130,000, an incredible amount for most people.

The charge of vehicular manslaughter is a very serious offense, and California vehicular manslaughter law is not to be taken lightly.  Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys know that vehicular manslaughter charges, coupled with DUI charges and any other offense could be incredibly difficult to overcome. 

At the Law Offices of Stephen G. Rodriguez, our criminal defense attorney team spends hours crafting a top notch defense for anyone facing vehicular manslaughter charges.  We aggressively fight to keep people out of prison, free from fines and with their loved ones.

California vehicular manslaughter laws can cripple your future by keeping you in prison for years, and even decades.  In the situation where the woman had eight children, the odds of escaping jail time are very, low.  However, with a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, your chances of staying out of jail are increased quite a bit.
