Regardless of your prior criminal record, a first-offense DUI in Virginia could mean a penalty of up to $2,500 in fines, twelve months in jail, and a year's loss of license. If you had a blood alcohol level above .15, you face a mandatory five days in jail. Anything above a .20 will result in a mandatory ten days in jail. That is why it is so important to do everything you can to lower the charges you face and minimize the potential consequences.
In addition to our staff and attorneys, our firm includes three full-time private investigators that help us collect the evidence needed to build the best possible defense. We put in the work to win all of our DUI cases by asking the following questions:
- Was the stop valid?
- Were blood and breath tests properly performed?
While fighting your charge at every turn, we will also work to lower the charges and penalties you face, because the state of Virginia takes these cases very seriously. With each successive charge and conviction, the stakes are raised. A third DUI conviction is considered a felony in Virginia.
We also protect out-of-state drivers who have been arrested for drunk driving in Virginia, because a DUI will follow you to your home state. Whether you are from North Carolina or West Virginia, your driver's license will be affected by any type of DUI or speeding ticket in Virginia.
