Our aim is to arrive at the best possible solution. Contact us today to schedule an initial consultation.

What Is at Stake

Massachusetts courts no longer allow pre-trial diversion of vehicular manslaughter cases—either you plead guilty and are sentenced or you plead not guilty and go directly to trial. A guilty plea or a conviction for vehicular homicide generally results in a fifteen-year loss of license. What makes a vehicular homicide case harder to defend than a civil suit is the fact that defense cannot include contributory negligence. The prosecution is out to prove that you were responsible for the negligent death of someone else. You need advocacy that makes a difference in your case.

What We Can Accomplish Together

The lawyers at Reardon & Reardon, PC, work to achieve the best possible outcome. How do we do this? By conducting a thorough and meticulous study of your accident: Along with a team of investigators and experts, we perform reconstruction of the fatal car accident, undertake scientific analysis, gather witness statements, study tire marks, perform MV defamation studies, take scene pictures, challenge the scientific opinions of experts. We often discover flaws in initial procedures leading up to the initial charge, or that not sufficient evidence has been gathered to support a conviction.

If you have been charged with vehicular homicide, an OUI, or were involved in a motor vehicle accident, you need an effective, confident presence in court to help you obtain the best possible outcome. Our lawyers can help. Contact Reardon & Reardon, PC, today.
