Bowser Law’s Defense Strategy

Motor Vehicle Homicide OUI cases are highly complex and demand immediate, skilled defense. We focus on:

  • Causation: Was impairment actually the cause of the crash, or were there other contributing factors?
  • Accident reconstruction: We work with experts to analyze the crash scene and determine fault.
  • Toxicology evidence: We challenge the reliability and admissibility of breath and blood testing.
  • Procedural errors: Did police follow proper protocol? Were rights violated?
  • Negotiation: In some cases, reduced charges may be possible if the evidence is weak.
