Cape Coral Vehicular Manslaughter Attorneys
For more than 40 years, the law firm founded and led by Wilbur Smith has been a go-to resource for people charged with serious felonies on the Florida Gulf Coast. Our skilled attorneys are here to counsel you, speak on your behalf and fight for the best possible outcome if you have been charged with manslaughter, vehicular homicide, murder or any similar offense.
Experience in a Range of Homicide and Aggravated Manslaughter Cases
While vehicular manslaughter and vehicular homicide — sometimes charged more specifically as DUI manslaughter or alleged to result from reckless rather than drunk driving — are the most common "homicide without intent" charges in our region, we are also prepared to deal with complex cases involving aggravated manslaughter of a child, disabled person, elderly person or public servant/emergency responder through various types of alleged negligence.
Turn to a Law Firm With an Earned Reputation for Diligence and Integrity
Our approach to serious criminal matters is detail-oriented and tenacious. Our Fort Myers manslaughter attorneys investigate circumstances and perform extensive research in order to identify a viable, cohesive defense strategy. Strategies we consider must be driven by the unique circumstances of the case, but our lawyers' assets for defining and executing them effectively include:
- Comprehensive knowledge of the complex statutes defining criminal behavior in Florida, from DUI to aggravated battery and domestic violence
- Well-earned credibility with court officials and prosecuting attorneys along the Gulf Coast and statewide, including a reputation for bringing thoroughly prepared cases to trial
- A commitment to working every angle on our clients' behalf and taking every phase of each case seriously, from accident reconstruction through jury selection and presentation of your case
- Ready access to a nationwide network of qualified experts in many fields that may be relevant to your case and your defense
We strive to provide difference-making advocacy, and this often hinges on taking control of the case rather than constantly reacting to the prosecution. For this reason, we emphasize up-front analysis, diligent investigation and probing, effective witness examination. While the ultimate decision to fight the charge or focus on minimizing charges will be yours, we can provide the legal insight you need to make that choice with confidence.
