Aggressive Criminal Defense Strategy

The Law Offices of Alan Fenster is committed to protecting the rights of people who are charged with vehicular manslaughter, which is often the result of accidents allegedly caused by:

  • Excessive speeding
  • Traffic violations considered gross negligence
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol

Mr. Fenster begins his defense with a thorough investigation of the facts. He consults toxicology experts to determine the validity of test results. Attorney Fenster will move to suppress any test results found to be questionable, or if law enforcement made any errors when administering the test.

Mr. Fenster also reviews witness testimony, video evidence, police reports and any other evidence available so he can challenge any defects in the prosecution's case. When necessary, Mr. Fenster consults accident scene reconstruction experts to understand how the accident occurred. If the other driver helped cause the accident, for example, Mr. Fenster might argue that the prosecution has failed to prove a key element of its case.

Seeking to Mitigate the Negative Consequences

Ultimately, Mr. Fenster's top priority is to minimize the negative consequences a vehicular manslaughter charge or conviction could have on your life. Mr. Fenster is well known throughout the Los Angeles legal community for his collegiality with prosecutors and judges. He has the credibility and skill to work with the prosecution to negotiate as positive a plea agreement as possible, given the circumstances of your case. For example, your agreement to participate in an alcohol treatment program could result in a reduction of your charges or a lesser penalty.

If taking your case to trial is in your best interest, Alan Fenster is an aggressive, effective trial lawyer. He is never afraid to take cases before a jury.
