DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE / DUI

When you have been charged with a criminal offense such as Driving Under the Influence DUI), or any serious traffic charge, you need a committed legal team focused on obtaining only the best results for you. There are numerous possible consequences that can result from a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction, including the restriction or loss of your right to drive, increases in insurance costs, fines and court costs, and even imprisonment.

In that state of Virginia, you can be charged with a DUI (driving under the influence) if you are driving with a blood alcohol level that is .08 or higher. You can also be charged with a DWI (driving while intoxicated) if you have other intoxicants or drugs, such as marijuana or cocaine, in your system while driving.

Virginia Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a Class 1 misdemeanor. The maximum punishment for a first offense is a $2,500 fine, one year in jail, and the loss of one's driving privileges for one year. Additionally, all persons convicted of DUI are, by law, required to lose their driving privileges for one year (or three years for subsequent offenses).
