DUI/DWI DEFENSE

Have You Been Arrested for a DUI/DWI? I Can Help

If you have a DUI/DWI case, having the guidance of good counsel will be essential to establishing an effective defense. Virginia DUI/DWI laws are complex evidenced in the way Virginia defines DUI/DWI in Virginia Code §18.2-266 as well as provisions relating to establishing the evidence and license suspension. As an experienced attorney with DUI/DWI cases, I welcome the opportunity to represent you in identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and in establishing a strong defense.

DUI/DWI is Serious and Merits the Advice of an Attorney

Penalties for a DUI/DWI conviction in Virginia as a first or second offense depend upon the individual circumstances of each case. As a class 1 misdemeanor, the penalties for a DUI/DWI first or second offense can include:

• A maximum fine of $2,500
• A maximum 12 months in jail
• A maximum 1– 3 year license suspension

Other factors may affect the penalties from a DUI/DWI conviction to include, for instance, whether there was an accident, the individual’s BAC and whether this is a first or subsequent offense. Select the link for a more detailed description of potential penalties from a DUI/DWI conviction.

I Aggressively Challenge DUI/DWI Cases

With so much at stake to include your personal freedom and privilege to drive, aggressively challenging a DUI/DWI charge is essential to protecting your rights and confronting the prosecution’s case. As a Virginia Attorney, I request evidence from the state to include forensic evidence relating to the calibration and maintenance history of the breath machine, qualifications of the breath test operator, the officer’s notes regarding the initial stop of your vehicle, your arrest and operation of the breath test machine. Depending upon each individual case, seeking the assistance of an expert witness may also be an important element to an effective defense.
