Denver Vehicular Manslaughter Defense Lawyers
What is the Average Sentence for Vehicular Manslaughter in Colorado?
Sometimes very unfortunate things happen and a person’s death due to a vehicle accident is one of the worst. If you were deemed responsible for the accident, you may be facing a vehicular manslaughter charge.
The consequences of a vehicular manslaughter conviction in Denver vary depending on the level of the charge:
- For a Misdemeanor, where alcohol or drugs were not involved, the penalties are 1 year in jail maximum or a fine.
- For a Class 4 Felony, where alcohol or drugs were not involved, the penalties are between 2 and 6 years in prison along with fines.
- For a Class 3 Felony, where alcohol or drug impairment was involved, you can face 4 to 12 years in prison along with larger fines.
- If the judge finds extraordinary aggravating circumstances in either level, the penalties could double.

“Mr. Charlie Fife is not only an Attorney at Law, but an astute anthropologist. He studies and understands human behavior. Mistake(s) are what human beings make and then they need guidance, counsel, and most of all, understanding. Mr. Fife never once made me feel ashamed, uncomfortable or even embarrassed. He is very well-read and worldly which makes him unusually gifted--and very highly skilled, when it comes to working with clients from all cultures, walks of life, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Mr. Fife is eloquent and defends his clients with exquisite insight and savoir-faire. I never expected to have my dignity preserved so beautifully. Wow. I was honored. I cannot recomend Charlie Fife highly enough. He is conscientious and understatedly comforting. His respect for me, his client, is something I am incredibly grateful for.”- Anonymous
