Criminal defense attorney, Lawrence D. Burroughs II, will carefully listen as you describe the circumstances of the case. Then he will clearly explain what you are up against and what he can do to help.
The High Cost of Conviction
In Virginia, DUI/DWI drunk driving is a class one misdemeanor carrying the possibility of up to one year of imprisonment, fines up to $2500 and/or license suspensions. Some DUI/DWI enhanced punishment cases require mandatory jail time upon conviction.
The cost of defending these cases tends to be high but the consequences of a conviction can be even higher. Going it alone may be no better than running into court shouting, "I'm guilty, suspend my license and lock me up right away."
We develop a plan for addressing the immediate legal issue as well as any underlying problems. We may recommend you attend driver improvement classes, or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. We may also refer you to a therapist to address emotional or family issues.
Asking the Right Questions
In every drunk driving case, we pursue answers to questions such as: Did the arresting officer have probably cause to pull you over? Were proper procedures followed during your arrest? Was the officer properly trained in administering the blood alcohol test? Was the machine properly calibrated and in good working condition? Depending on what we learn, we may be able to get your charges dismissed or reduced. We may work to secure a restricted license, which allows you to drive to work. Or we may find the evidence we need to fight and win your case in court.
