30 Years of Criminal Defense Experience

Being charged for vehicular homicide is something no one expects to face. The law office of Robert J. Smith, P.C. aggressively defends individuals charged with vehicular assault or homicide. With 30 years of experience, our office is very skilled representing individuals charged with criminal offenses. Contact our Eugene vehicular assault attorney for a consultation to discuss your defense.

An individual can be charged with vehicular assault or homicide whether the act was intentional or not. Usually it is a result of a drunk driving accident. A DUI was probably not a charge you expected to incur; now you face driving under the influence charges and vehicular assault or homicide charges.

• Vehicular assault: A felony charge from severely injuring another individual in a car accident through reckless driving (commonly alcohol related).
• Vehicular homicide: Taking another individual's life with the use of a vehicle (commonly in a drunk driving accident).

Because vehicular assault and homicide are measure 11 offenses, the sentencing for convictions must follow automatic guidelines. Vehicular homicide is typically charged as manslaughter. The penalty for manslaughter is 90 months of incarceration for 1st degree and 75 months of incarceration for 2nd degree.

As an experienced criminal defense law firm, we carefully review the police report, investigate and interview witnesses, and hire experts to perform extensive accident reconstruction. Even if our client was driving while impaired, our attorney works to prove that the accident was not our client's fault.

If you have been charged with vehicular homicide or assault, we can help you. Contact our Oregon vehicular homicide defense lawyer for experienced representation.
