    Professionalism, Responsiveness

    Hello people of the internet, first off no I’m not a bot, I’m a real person who had a real problem. I was in a bad spot with the law and didn’t feel comfortable using a court appointed attorney because I knew that they would just push me through the system and I would just become another statistic. I didn’t want that for myself. I found VS Criminal attorney and figured I’d give them a call and tell them about my situation. Michelle got back to me very quickly and gave me a run down of my charges, what I would be facing and told me that she would do her best to reduce the charges that were brought up against me. I didn’t have much to offer at the time but she was understanding and as long as your willing work with her, her and her team will work with you. Throughout the course of a year she worked with me keeping me updated, suggesting routes that I should take that would help with my case. She gave me inner peace every time she gave me new information on what would happen next. The dedication she put into to my case really helped. She was able to reduce my sentence down to probation only. From what it once was to what it is now I can only be grateful for her and her team. If your in a bad spot and feel you may have a good case. I suggest giving them a call and see what they say. I am 110% happy with the outcome I got and it was all worth it because without them I know I would have just been pushed through the system and became another statistic. Thank you Michelle, you have a wonderful team I really appreciate all you’ve done for me.

    If you want a caring and responsive lawyer who you can count on I’d highly recommend looking no further. MIchelle will be there for you during what is likely one of the worst times in your life and actually give you the priority and individual care that is needed from your lawyer. My son received a fully dismissal because of the amazing work of Michelle, on what could have been a very serious sentence due to how the law sometimes works in a failed manner.

    FAQs About Manslaughter Charges

    Arizona law considers DUI manslaughter and negligent homicide to be serious crimes, with conviction resulting in prison sentences, extensive fines, and lifelong impact on your family and personal freedoms. Both crimes are committed without premeditation, but manslaughter is considered to be more severe because the person was culpably aware that they were acting negligently but continued to engage in the behavior anyway, and ended up injuring or killing someone as a result.

    Homicide, murder, and manslaughter are each considered a felony with consequences. Murder is the intentional killing of another person without premeditation. Manslaughter is the killing of another person without intention or premeditation to do so. Homicide includes both legal and illegal killings, with the distinction between the two defining it as murder. A war zone or self defense is an example where killing a person is not considered a crime.

    If this is your first DUI conviction and you are responsible for the death of another person, you can definitely be sentenced with both voluntary manslaughter and drunk driving charges. You could receive a prison sentence of 7-21 years depending on the severity of the circumstances. Having a reputable attorney on your side to navigate the legal process and represent your rights will have a strong impact on the outcome of your case.

    Typically, the penalty for voluntary manslaughter conviction in Arizona is a 15 year prison sentence and a $30,000 fine. The penalty for conviction of involuntary manslaughter is a 10 year prison sentence and a $20,000 fine.
