A: Find out who's being charged. You're correct in posting under Car Accidents, but attorneys in that category usually limit their work to the civil end of the case (money damages for injuries). Your question is about the charges, and criminal defense attorneys are going to know more about that area. If you are able to arrange a free initial consult, you would be able to discuss in confidence with such a law firm. Good luck
