Defending DUI Charges in Northern Virginia

The penalties for DUI in Virginia are some of the most punishing in the nation, and taking action early in your case is an urgent matter if you are hoping to avoid penalties. Even a first time misdemeanor DUI conviction usually includes some jail time, loss of your driver's license for an extended period of time, as well as fines up to $2,500. The penalties become even more dangerous and extreme should an accident or injury be part of the charges you are facing. Felony DUI charges should be defended from the moment you are arrested, and before your arraignment. Some DUI accident cases, after an investigation by the firm result in reduced or dismissed charges. There are various factors that could affect any such charge, including getting an independent accident investigator to review all the evidence; in some cases, the accused individual was not later found to not have been responsible for the accident.
