Hampton Roads DUI Lawyers

Drunk driving, driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated, or, as it’s commonly known in Virginia, DUI, are all potentially harmful to a person’s driving record, employment, auto insurance premiums, as well as the ability to get credit.  These charges also have serious consequences for the physical and emotional health of an individual.

A DUI charge is not limited to intoxication from alcohol.  It can also result from use of illegal substances, like marijuana, legal prescription medications and even seemingly innocent over the counter remedies like cold medicine, especially when these are taken along with alcohol.

There’s a very simple way to avoid a DUI charge:  Don’t drive after using any of these substances.  People who party need to have a designated driver who drinks no alcohol.

A DUI charge is a serious problem a person must address immediately.  Someone who has been arrested for DUI in any local Hampton Roads city or various surrounding communities may be facing steep fines and even jail time.  The sooner an individual acts, the better.  Doing nothing is a bad idea; doing the wrong thing is worse.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wisely said:  “You don’t have to see the whole staircase – just take the first step.”

No statements about the incident and surrounding events should be made to anyone - family, friend, co-worker or otherwise.  A potential client facing any of these charges should call us immediately for a confidential consultation.  All discussions about the case are confidential.

We also represent clients on other criminal and traffic cases.
