Intoxicated Assault & Vehicular Manslaughter

Felony DWI Resulting in Accident, Injury or Death

If you were involved in an accident in which another person was injured or died, feelings of remorse may keep you from taking the quick legal action necessary to make sure that you have an opportunity to continue on with your life and take care of yourself and your family in the future.

It is vitally important to consult an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney if you were accused of intoxication assault or vehicular manslaughter, the serious criminal charges that can result when you are involved in a car crash and the police think you were intoxicated by alcohol or drugs.

I am an East Texas trial lawyer with over 24 years of experience and more than 500 criminal trials under my belt. My reputation for producing results is based on a thorough understanding of the law, a passion for defending my clients in front of a jury and a complete dedication to helping good people in bad situations get the second chance my values tell me they deserve.

Don't Give Up, There's Hope

Intoxication assault and vehicular manslaughter are serious felony charges with serious consequences. A guilty plea or a conviction can change your life forever. It is extremely important that you understand that even if you were drinking before the accident, that does not make you guilty of these crimes.

The prosecution has to prove two things: first, that you were legally intoxicated or impaired at the time of the accident; and second, that the fact that you were intoxicated was the "proximate" or real cause of the accident and the resulting injury or loss of life.

It's not my job to prove you innocent. Sometimes, reasonable doubt is enough. A DWI test taken at some later time does not prove you were intoxicated when the accident occurred. I will fight any blood alcohol test or breath test evidence the prosecution has. I will use any eyewitness testimony and video evidence available to challenge their version of events. Most importantly, I will be with you from beginning to end to provide you with the guidance and strength you need to get through this.
