Georgia has some of the most stringent Vehicular Homicide laws in the country.  If you involved in an accident which causes a death and the police accuse you of excessive speed, aggressive driving, racing, DUI, passing a school bus, failing to stop after an accident or fleeing a police officer, you may be sentenced from anywhere from 3 to 15 years in prison.  Some Vehicular Homicide cases do not even enjoy the benefit of parole especially where a DUI charge is involved.   If you have consumed Alcohol, have any remnant of drugs in your system or even prescription drugs, the State does even have to prove you were DUI just a reckless driver which is a very easy burden when someone is killed.

Our firm has advised thousands of clients accused of crimes primarily in Metro Atlanta: including the City of Atlanta, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Henry, Clayton, Fayette, Rockdale, Spalding and Coweta Counties. We know the Court system, the Judges, the Prosecutors and how they work. I was a staff attorney for a Superior Court Judge in Clayton County in 1993-1994.
