Order a Copy of our Free Book, It's Not Just A Ticket:  A Law-Abiding Citizens Guide to DUI and Serious Traffic Offenses in Virginia and Get Started With Your Defense

You are not a criminal, and you do not set out to break the law when you get into your car and buckle up. As you pull away from the curb, you are thinking about a million things.  You are cruising . . . . and until you see the blue flashing lights in the rear view mirror, it is safe to say you had no intention of spending any time on the side of the road, with your personal history being suspiciously examined by a police officer. 

As you pull over, your heart is thumping. The officer approaches your window: “Driver’s license and registration, please.” And before you can digest what is happening, the only thing you know is that you don’t know what is going to happen next.  

Let this be the last time you feel that way.

When you get behind the wheel of your car in Virginia, you take on a great responsibility. Most of the time, your recognition of this responsibility guides you to make sound driving decisions. But nobody is perfect, and sometimes mistakes are made that result in traffic offenses, some with serious sounding allegations. If convicted of violating your legal responsibility, these offenses may affect your driving record or even your criminal record.

Juvenile Traffic Violations

Virginia law is not much different for juveniles. For young people, aged 18 and under, most traffic violations carry significant repercussions and punishments.  It is no longer your Daddy’s “Kiddie Court.”  Today, Juvenile traffic offenses will land you and your child in your local juvenile court, where a judge will decide your child’s fate. Hiring a lawyer is the smartest thing a parent can do in these situations.  You wouldn’t go into Court without an attorney if your license were on the line. Neither should your child. In addition, you do not have the necessary legal experience to assist your child in the courtroom. The judgment of the Juvenile Court is every bit as real as any other type of court. You and your child deserve to enter a courtroom prepared for what is about to happen.

Reckless Driving/Serious Traffic Offenses

Reckless driving is also often charged as a Class I Misdemeanor. For this serious driving violation, you could be convicted of a crime, making this event part of your permanent criminal record, with a possible license suspension. Other serious offenses include excessive speed, causing an accident, school zone violations and red light charges. We work tirelessly to defend you and reduce or eliminate these serious charges.

DUI Defense

A Virginia DUI violation is a Class I Misdemeanor and can bring very serious consequences. You will need strong, eperienced legal representation to minimize the impact on this mistake will have on your life. We will research your case fully and bring a defense designed to protect your rights.
