DUI Lawyers in VA
DWI/ DUI Defense throughout the Commonwealth Of Virginia
We defend citizens charged with DUI throughout Virginia. You should hire a Virginia DUI lawyer who has the knowledge and skills to really look after you and your case to give you the best possible representation.
We have defended DUI / DWI cases throughout most of the different cities and counties in Virginia.
Often we are asked how we can do that and whether it is better for them to have a local Virginia DUI lawyer or Virginia Criminal Lawyer from the county or city they are charged in? We can honestly say we have not felt disadvantaged in any of the Virginia courts we have defended clients in. Often we think that it is actually an advantage because we are the X factor.
Prosecutors and judges don't usually underestimate our skill, knowledge and how we prepare our cases. Potential customers who live outside of Northern Virginia and Central Virginia also are curious about how they are going to personally meet with us to discuss their very serious Virginia DWI case when we are so far away. Our answer is we are only a phone call or SKYPE session away. We have never had a customer who felt disadvantaged by the distance.
Loss of your driver's license in Virginia for a DWI / DUI
Do not let a belief that because you have been charged with drinking and driving has to affect the rest of your life. If you or someone you know was arrested for driving under the influence in the Commonwealth of VA, you need to find an experienced Virginia DUI lawyer to help you fight the charge.
Did you know that you automatically lose your VA license if you are arrested for DUI in Virginia? This is called an administrative suspension of the driver's license. If your blood alcohol level (BAC) is 0.08 percent or more, or you refuse to conduct a chemical test at the request of the officer, they may take your driver's license with you. If this is your first offense, your license will be suspended for seven days. If this is your second offense, the suspension will take 60 days or until your court date (whichever comes first). The only exception is if you were stopped on private property. Then the law of implied consent does not apply. This license suspension is independent of any criminal charges.
From the very first offense, you may be sentenced to prison, heavy fines, compulsory "DUI School" and a one-year loss of your license. In most cases, the judge will give a limited license for a first offense.
