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.

In addition to court-imposed sentencing, involuntary manslaughter results in a permanent mark on your criminal record. A felony conviction can make it difficult to obtain employment and take advantage of life’s opportunities.
Fortunately, you have a fighting chance to obtain the most favorable outcome possible. Our attorney can conduct an investigation, gather evidence and determine if law enforcement used proper investigation protocols in order to build an effective and unique defense strategy just for you. Let us fight for your freedom today.

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens
