Manslaughter Defense in Ontario, CA
Manslaughter charges are life-changing. While less serious than murder, a conviction can still lead to years in prison, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record. These cases are often complex and emotionally charged, requiring a defense that is both aggressive and strategic.
At GBART Law, we represent clients in Ontario, CA, and throughout San Bernardino County who are accused of manslaughter, fighting to protect their rights and futures.
Types of Manslaughter Cases
California law recognizes several forms of manslaughter:
- Voluntary manslaughter: Death caused during a sudden quarrel or in the heat of passion.
- Involuntary manslaughter: Death caused by reckless or negligent behavior.
- Vehicular manslaughter: Death caused by negligent or intoxicated driving.
Each type carries serious penalties, including years of custody and a felony record.
Defense Strategies We Use
Our approach focuses on weakening the prosecution’s case and exploring alternatives to harsh punishment. Common strategies include:
- Proving self-defense or defense of others
- Demonstrating lack of intent to kill
- Challenging medical or forensic evidence
- Showing the death was accidental and not criminal
- Seeking reduced charges or alternative sentencing
