Driving Under the Influence is a serious charge in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Not only does one accused of D.U.I face license suspension in many cases mandatory jail time is imposed.  Each D.U.I. case requires a careful review of the circumstances occuring from the initial traffic stop through the testing of blood alcohol.  As a former police officer I have attended the same training used today by law enforcement officers and am familiar with the training and prosecution of D.U.I. offenses.  Do not delay hiring an attorney to scrutinize your case.    

Simple traffic offenses are handled in the General District Court and involve many variations from speeding to reckless driving.  Any moving violation can cause problems with both the Department of Motor Vehicles and your repsective insurance company. 

Serious traffic offenses include eluding, leaving the scene of an accident, and manslaughter.  In these cases the risk of being convicted of a felony plus an active incarceration period is highly possible.  It is important to begin planning your defense early.

I have experience in representing clients for both simple traffic infractions and more involved traffic related felonies, if you have been charged with either a simple or serious traffic offense call me today to discuss your options and defenses.
