Is Vehicular Manslaughter a Felony?
According to Virginia law, any person who unintentionally kills another individual – such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs – could be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
Involuntary manslaughter is considered a Class 5 felony, punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine of up to $2,500.
However, if the court determines that the defendant’s conduct was gross, wanton, and demonstrated a reckless disregard for human life – such as driving with a blood alcohol content over .20 – the maximum prison sentence may be raised to 20 years.

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!

Call Dan Miller now - you need look no further for the best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads. Divorce is not an easy situation but it is even worse if you do not have good representation.
I was in the midst of a divorce and my case was with a firm that was not representing me fairly and not answering my questions. I was at a loss and dreaded going to court. Then a friend told me of Dan Miller. I wish I had found this firm in the beginning! From the first hour of turning my case over to this office I stopped worrying. I knew I had made the right choice and my case was in good hands. Dan Miller was professional, and he fought for me and I was very happy with the way he handled my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
