Newport News, Virginia, Traffic Violations Lawyer

As a Newport News traffic ticket lawyer, I help hundreds of people every year who face trouble like fines, drivers license suspension, even jail time, from traffic violations and drunk driving charges in the Newport News / Hampton, Virginia, area.

I provide legal representation to out-of-town visitors caught in speed traps, college freshmen charged with underage drinking, and active duty or retired members of the military pulled over for drunk driving.

In my criminal defense law practice, I defend people on these and other traffic violations and motor vehicle offenses:

Moving Violations

Every time you're found guilty of a moving violation, you rack up "points" that count against your driving privilege and your insurance rating. A few points and your insurance will go up. Too many points (18 in one year, 24 in two years) and your driver's license will be suspended.

If your driving record is important to you— especially if you are a commercial driver— contact my law office for prompt help Link to Contact Us from a Newport News traffic ticket lawyer.

Drunk Driving

Virginia strictly enforces its drunk driving laws. If you're picked up for DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs), it will pay to have an experienced DUI attorney look at your case to see if you can avoid that first conviction. Fines and penalties are steep, and get worse with every conviction on your record.

Was your blood alcohol level more than .15? You are facing mandatory jail time. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Let me see if your stop was legal and your breathalyzer testing done correctly.

Underage Drinking

If you are under 21 and the police find you with alcohol in your possession or drunk, you are going to face criminal charges. Depending upon your circumstances, that could have serious implications for your education or future career.

Facing Charges as a Habitual Offender?

A habitual offender is someone who has a number of traffic offenses, including drunk driving, within ten years. The offenses may not even be serious, but the "habitual offender" label certainly is. It will mean the loss of your license, jail time, and fines. That's why it's important to fight traffic violations whenever possible. Contact my law office.
