Penalties for DUI Causing Death
In California, a drunk driving accident which causes death is considered as gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. This type of DUI offense is a felony, punishable by a prison sentence of either four, six, or ten years. If the defendant has two or more previous DUI convictions, then the prison sentence increases up to 15 years or a lifetime sentence.

"My case would have had a much more severe outcome had he not been in my corner."
You never believe you could get pulled over for a DUI. Of course I would never drive intoxicated. But I made a poor decision and drove those few miles home. Thankfully there was no accident, however I'd committed a serious crime that would entail serious repercussions . Not only does a DUI affect your insurance, your record as a good citizen, but it is also a whole reality check on your life. I was so fortunate to have had the legal service of Mr. Robert F. Sommers, who dealt with my situation in a caring, efficient manner. The complete process involves much detailed attention. Attorney Sommers took care of it all for me, appearing in court, altering me to what I needed to do, and was always prompt in returning my phone calls, answering questions or concerns. My case would have had a much more severe outcome had he not been in my corner. His fee, which is comparably less expensive than other lawyers serving DUI cases, was worth every penny!- L.L.B. -
