Houston Intoxicated Manslaughter Attorney

Do you face intoxicated manslaughter charges?

I have served as both a state and federal prosecutor which allows me a unique insight into how prosecution cases are formed and how the criminal justice system operates. As a founding member of the National College for DUI Defense, I have the on the ground experience and legal knowledge required to aggressively protect the rights and freedoms of those accused of DWI charges. Nowhere is this more important than when you or a loved one face charges for intoxicated manslaughter.

When a person operates a motor vehicle while intoxicated due to alcohol and/or drugs and mistakenly or accidentally kills another, this is intoxicated manslaughter. It is a second degree felony which is severely punished by the law. Defense against these charges requires an experienced and skilled Houston DWI lawyer who understands the DWI laws and how they may apply to your individual situation. Many times, an otherwise good person will make a mistake that can greatly affect their life. I want you to have someone in your corner that will fight for your future.

Elements of an Effective Defense

Intoxicated manslaughter cases rest on certain aspects that the prosecution must prove in order to obtain a conviction. They must prove that you were intoxicated at the time but breath and blood tests or field sobriety tests can sometimes be faulty or incorrectly administered by law enforcement. This may provide an avenue for defense. In addition, they must show that you were driving the vehicle and that your driving was the actual cause of death. Each of these elements can be aggressively investigated and when appropriate, used to resolve your case in a successful manner.

If you are convicted of intoxicated manslaughter, you face revocation of your driving privileges, steep fines, restitution and time in jail. If you use the services of Attorney Ned Barnett, please be assured that I work diligently to provide the best defense possible under the law.

By contacting a Houston intoxicated manslaughter attorney you greatly improve your chances of receiving an effective defense against the charges you face.
