Reckless Homicide and Vehicular Manslaughter Attorneys

Our experienced attorneys have a wide range of legal expertise and can determine if your case falls under the double jeopardy law to protect you from a Reckless Homicide charge.

What is double jeopardy?
The US Constitution provides that no person can be tried and convicted for the same crime twice. If you have already been prosecuted for a crime related to the driving incident that caused the death. In that case, the lawyers at Bernstein & Bernstein may be able to protect you from a reckless homicide charge.

If your license is suspended, we can assist you in the complex process of reinstating your driver’s license after one year, provided you meet certain conditions.
