Vehicular Homicide

Tennessee Vehicular Homicide Defense Attorney

The penalties for vehicular homicide are severe. A conviction for vehicular homicide due to intoxication is punishable by a sentence of eight to 30 years in prison, or, in extreme cases, it is theoretically possible to receive probation. A conviction for aggravated vehicular homicide is a class A felony under Tennessee law and carries even harsher penalties. If you have been charged with vehicular homicide, it is vitally important to be represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney with knowledge of the law, as it relates to DUI and to vehicular homicide.

An Experienced Defense Lawyer: More Than 60 Fatal Drunk Driving Cases

I am former prosecuting attorney Bernie McEvoy. While working for nearly 15 years in the Office of the District Attorney for Davidson County, I was assigned to prosecute cases involving vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. I handled more than 60 cases involving fatal drunk driving accidents.

In my criminal defense practice, I offer you the trial skills, knowledge and experience to mount a strong defense against your vehicular homicide charges. Contact me as soon as you have been charged or come under investigation for charges. I will start protecting your rights immediately.

Skilled at Evaluating and Challenging Evidence

I know how prosecutors think and act on the DWI evidence they have against you. I use that tactical knowledge to evaluate the prosecution’s case and protect your constitutional rights. You should know that there are effective defense strategies that can help you avoid a conviction or a serious prison sentence. For example, the prosecution must demonstrate that the fatality was directly caused by your intoxication.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

I force the prosecution to prove its case against you beyond a reasonable doubt. Under your constitutional rights, "maybe" isn't good enough.

When necessary to present the strongest case possible, I bring in experts such as accident reconstruction specialists and medical professionals. I challenge the credentials of the state’s experts and I solicit testimony of any witnesses. Every avenue will be explored to prepare the strongest defense possible to protect your freedom.
