The reason I would recommend Ms. Johnson-Norris is much more than just ‘she gets the job done.’ Rather, she works for you and gets results by taking the burden off you!

Vehicle Crime Defense FAQs

What distinguishes vehicular manslaughter in California from vehicular homicide?
In many cases, we can deconstruct the event to prove that the incident lacked the murderous intent or gross negligence required for a felony conviction.
In a hit-and-run case, the state must prove you knowingly failed to provide information after a collision. A sophisticated hit and run lawyer scrutinizes the “point of impact” and environmental variables to argue a lack of awareness or a reasonable fear for safety. We intervene to ensure that fleeing the scene of an accident is not misconstrued as an admission of guilt, but rather a complex reaction to a high-stress crisis.
While both involve the taking of a vehicle, carjacking is a violent crime involving force or intimidation, whereas grand theft auto does not. Our approach in these cases involves challenging the “intent to permanently deprive” the vehicle’s owner. By proving a lack of violence or established consent, we can often deconstruct a carjacking charge into a significantly less severe theft offense, shielding you from the stigma of a violent felony.
Yes. Vehicular assault charges often stem from driving under the influence or reckless behavior. If you were forced or tricked into a state of impairment by a third party, we deploy a surgical defense to establish involuntary intoxication. By isolating the external factors that led to the incident, we aim to invalidate the prosecution’s narrative of recklessness.
We audit the technical details of the encounter — siren audibility, vehicle markings, and officer visibility — to demonstrate that any delay in stopping was due to safety or confusion, not tactical evasion. Our goal is to arrest the state’s momentum before a single traffic error defines your legal legacy.
