A Serious Crash Requires a Careful Legal Defense.
- Criminal vehicular operation
- Criminal vehicular homicide
- Alcohol- and drug-related crash allegations
- Disputed causation and driver identification
- Crash, vehicle, and medical evidence
- Related DWI and license proceedings
Reconstruct the Collision
Scene documentation, vehicle information, witness observations, recordings, and the sequence of events can provide different pieces of the account. Rob examines how the investigation connects those materials. The review identifies disputed assumptions and whether additional technical analysis may be useful to the defense.
Test the Legal Theory Against the Evidence
A tragic outcome does not answer every question about criminal responsibility. The alleged conduct, the offense charged, and the claimed connection to the injury or death each need analysis. The defense must address the specific theory rather than treating all serious crashes alike.
Review Impairment Evidence Where It Is Alleged
If the case includes alcohol or drug allegations, the stop or investigation, testing process, timing, and supporting records deserve review. Related DWI or license proceedings may create separate issues. Rob considers how those matters interact with the main criminal case.
Plan for the Decisions Ahead
These cases can present difficult choices about investigation, technical review, motions, and resolution. Rob explains the evidence, the work being proposed, and the available routes. The strategy accounts for your circumstances and the consequences of each major decision.
Questions About Criminal Vehicular Offenses
Can You Help While a Crash Is Still Under Investigation?
Yes. Identify the agency involved, the date of the incident, and any requests for an interview, search, or testing. A consultation can address representation before a charging decision is made.
Will Technical Evidence Need Review?
That depends on the case. Crash reconstruction, vehicle data, medical findings, or toxicology may be relevant. The defense evaluates which materials and any additional expertise the particular issues require.
Should I Bring DWI or License Paperwork Too?
Yes. Related notices and court files may have their own procedures and dates. Identifying them early helps coordinate the overall defense.
