DUI Attorney
The biggest mistake you can make after being arrested for driving under the influence is not taking the matter seriously. A DUI conviction can follow you for the rest of your life. It can cause you to lose your license and pay expensive fines, and it can make it difficult to find a job. If convicted, the Department of Motor Vehicles will keep a record of your DUI for at least 10 years – and the insurance charges could cost you thousands of dollars.
The good news is that drunk driving charges can be successfully challenged, leading to reduced charges or acquittal. This is due to the fact that Police and Commonwealth Attorneys sometimes overstep their authority and violate the constitutional rights of Virginia residents. Any evidence obtained in violation of your rights may be thrown out.
For example:
- The officer apprehending you may not have had probable cause to stop your vehicle.
- Field sobriety testing may not have been conducted properly.
- The breathalyzer test may have given an inaccurate blood alcohol content (BAC) reading due to improper administration, maintenance or calibration.
- Your breath test reading may have been inaccurate due to an existing medical condition, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
The severity of punishment for your crime will depend on the skill and experience of the lawyer representing you in court.
