Virginia Drunk Driving Defense
Drunk driving is one criminal charge you need to fight aggressively right from the start. Even if it is your first DUI, you need to do everything you can to avoid a conviction. A DUI/DWI conviction is unlike many other criminal convictions:
- It stays on your record forever
- For every conviction on your record, the penalties you face increase substantially
- A DUI will increase your insurance premiums
- A DUI can hurt your chances for employment, especially if you need to drive for work
Do not wait to get legal help. There are a number of defense options to fight your DUI/DWI but your lawyer needs time to prepare your defense.
Don't Assume You Have No Options
Just because you received a ticket, that does not mean you are actually guilty of the traffic offense. The situation may not be as clear-cut as it seems. A criminal defense lawyer may be able to negotiate the charges down to one with a lower fine or fewer points on your driving record. That can make a big difference when it comes to your insurance carrier and whether or not your car insurance is increased.
