Experienced Criminal Defense When It Matters Most

Vero Beach, DUI Manslaughter Lawyer

Florida aggressively prosecutes DUI manslaughter cases. A conviction can result in years in prison, fines, loss of your driving privileges and a felony record. If you have been arrested or are under investigation, you need an experienced Vero Beach DUI manslaughter lawyer to protect your rights.

I am attorney Adam Chrzan, the founder of Adam Chrzan, Attorney At Law. With over 20 years of criminal law experience, I can defend your rights in Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie and the rest of the Treasure Coast. I worked as a prosecutor for 6 years, during which I handled over 100 jury trials. As such, I understand how Florida investigates and prosecutes felony cases.

Understanding Florida DUI Manslaughter Penalties

Under Florida Statute §316.193, DUI manslaughter occurs when you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs and cause the death of another person. Charged as a second-degree felony, penalties include:

  • A mandatory minimum sentence of four years in prison
  • A maximum of 15 years in prison
  • Fines of up to $10,000
  • Permanent revocation of your Florida driver’s license
  • A felony record that can affect your employment or professional licensing

If a driver knowingly left the scene, the offense may be elevated to a first-degree felony with up to 30 years in prison. As your defense attorney, I will work to identify weaknesses to reduce or eliminate charges.

How Trenton’s Law Impacts DUI Manslaughter Cases

Florida’s Trenton’s Law, which became effective on October 1, 2025, makes a repeated DUI manslaughter conviction a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Moreover, refusing a lawful breath or urine test after a DUI arrest, even for the first time, is a criminal offense. I can provide you with immediate representation to protect your rights.

How A Former Prosecutor Defends Your Rights

To charge you with manslaughter, the prosecution must establish that your alleged impairment caused the fatal crash. That requires scientific evidence, expert testimony and laboratory analysis.

At Adam Chrzan, Attorney At Law, I can investigate:

  • Whether the officers complied with the constitutional requirements
  • The accuracy of chemical testing
  • Whether another driver contributed to the crash

In many cases, blood-test suppression issues become central to the defense. Improper collection procedures or laboratory contamination may affect the results. I can help investigate and build a strong Treasure Coast felony DUI defense.
