Sussex Co. Traffic Lawyer

We understand that Driving is a Privilege; however, realistically driving affects everything from your quality of life down to your children. Some even face possible employment termination without the ability to drive.  Traffic Infractions can add up quickly creating not just fines and costs, but potential insurance premium increases, and not to mention even unforeseen ramifications from your State’s DMV.

​

The Court System can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar with the Legal System. As your Attorney, my job is to guide you through every step and to effectively resolve your legal issues, while also making you feel as comfortable as possible.

​

Many motorists travel the I-95 corridor on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this is also common knowledge to all State Troopers and Virginia Deputies, who patrol this stretch of highway writing everything from Speeding tickets to Misdemeanor Reckless Driving Summons.

​

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 are 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 transferrable to other states

  • Six pointes on your Virginia license

  • Insurance increases

  • Jail time depending on speed and 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.

​

If you have been charged with DUI/DWI, you need aggressive and effective criminal defense. Do not wait to protect your rights or risk jail time, excessive fines or loss of your license. I can help you keep your life together. CALL TODAY!

 

 SPEEDING TICKET

 

If you are charged with Speeding, the worst thing you can do is not take it serious.  A conviction for Speeding leads to demerit points on your driving record, fines and Court costs, depending on your state you could be facing a possible license suspension, and  potential insurance increases. Our straightforward approach is what makes the difference in your case.
