Our Testimonials
"We hired Mr. Huffman from St. Louis Huffman Law due to a poor decision made by a family member. The potential consequences of that poor decision could have had a significant impact on the family member's future.
Mr. Huffman and the staff at the firm were highly professional, expedient, and clear in explaining issues relevant to the charges.
There has been a very reasonable resolution to the case within a fairly short timeframe that allows my family member a chance at a bright future, unencumbered by lasting issues."
— Anthony, 5-Star Review

How Our Tucson Lawyers Defend DUI Manslaughter Cases
Investigating the Accident Scene
We work with investigators and accident reconstruction experts to examine the details prosecutors often overlook, from road conditions and visibility to whether field sobriety tests were done in a safe, appropriate location.
Challenging Blood and Breath Tests
Our attorneys are nationally recognized for their knowledge of blood alcohol content testing. We know how to identify errors in testing, handling, and reporting, and we use that knowledge to weaken the prosecution’s case.
Using Expert Testimony
From medical professionals to forensic scientists, we bring in experts who can explain complex issues clearly to juries. Their testimony often highlights flaws in the state’s narrative and raises critical doubt.
Building a Jury-Focused Strategy
With hundreds of jury trials behind us, we understand how to communicate effectively in the courtroom. We build defense strategies that help jurors see the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and understand your side of the story.
Frequently Asked Questions For a DUI Manslaughter Lawyer in Tucson, AZ
How quickly should I hire a lawyer after an arrest?
Time is critical in DUI manslaughter cases. Evidence such as accident scenes, surveillance footage, and witness memories can disappear within days. Hiring a criminal defense attorney right away ensures these details are preserved and used to your advantage.
Can I talk to police or investigators without a lawyer?
You should never discuss your case with law enforcement without legal representation present. Even casual comments can be taken out of context and used against you. Our Tucson attorneys step in immediately to protect your rights and manage communication with investigators.
Do prosecutors ever reduce DUI manslaughter charges?
Yes, but only when the defense can show weaknesses in the case. Effective challenges to blood alcohol content, accident reconstruction, or police procedure can persuade prosecutors to consider reduced charges or alternative outcomes instead of pursuing the maximum penalty.
