RECKLESS DRIVING TICKET

 

There are two forms of Reckless Driving in Virginia.  There is Reckless Driving – General and Reckless Driving – Speed. The problem with both of these charges is that they are both are Class 1 Misdemeanors, punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $2,500.00 fine, as well as, it adds six points to your driving record.  Prepayment of a Reckless Driving ticket is essentially you pleading guilty to a criminal offense.  The penalties you face could be significant, including:

 

  • A fine up to $2,500.00.

  • A Misdemeanor conviction that is transferable to other states.

  • Six points on your Virginia License.

  • Insurance increases.

  • Jail time depending on speed and other circumstances.

  • Potential License Suspension.

  • Potential employment consequences.

 

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) TICKET

 

The most commonly committed crime in the United States today is drunk driving. People who would otherwise never come into contact with the criminal justice system can find themselves under arrest because they have had “one too many.”

 

The legal limit for Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) while driving in Virginia is .08. This amount can easily be reached with as little as three beers. The penalties for drunk driving in Virginia can be numerous and severe. If you are convicted of this type of offense, you may lose your driving privileges.

 

We will examine the facts of your case and determine the answers to some of these key components that may impact the outcome of your case.  We will:

​

•  Explore if the arresting officer had sufficient cause to stop your vehicle.


•  Determine whether the officer who performed the stop on your vehicle, properly administered the breath or blood test, as well as, the field sobriety test.


•  Get evidence against you suppressed if it was in fact, unlawfully obtained.


•  Depending on the specifics of your arrest and processing, we will firmly litigate a potential dismissal, not guilty verdict upon trial, or settle a favorable plea agreement that enables you to avoid a criminal conviction.

 

Criminal charges should never be taken lightly, and you should not make the mistake of thinking that the potential penalties of this offense will not be severe just because you may have no previous record. You deserve an attorney who will fight to safeguard your rights and ensure that everything that can be done for your defense will be done for your defense. I will be that attorney for you.

SPEEDING TICKET

Our straightforward approach is what makes the difference in your case.
