DWI
Northern Virginia DUI and DWI Lawyer
Skilled and Experienced Representation for Traffic Offenses
If you or someone you love has been charged with a DUI or DWI offense in Northern Virginia, you no doubt worry about the possible consequences that come with a drunk driving conviction. You also may wonder what an attorney can do for you in a DUI case.
Your concerns are certainly justified. Some alcohol-related traffic offenses have mandatory minimum sentences that can include hefty fines, driving license restrictions and jail time. Depending on the circumstances involved and your prior criminal history, those penalties may increase dramatically. Additionally, if you refuse to take a breathalyzer or blood test when requested, you will likely face added penalties.
At Thomas B. Haddock, Attorney at Law, I represent individuals who have been arrested for DUI or DWI in Northern Virginia and work hard to get charges reduced or dismissed whenever possible. I will also be honest with you about your chances for success.
Driving Privileges and DWIs
Being convicted of a DWI can dramatically affect your life, even if you do not end up going to jail. If you lose your driving privileges, which are taken for granted by many people, life will be more difficult. Trips to the grocery store, the bank and to work are made more difficult.
In certain cases, the court will grant you a restricted license, which must be followed rigidly. In some cases, an ignition interlock device must be attached to your car as part of the restricted license. At my firm, I will help you figure out the best approach to your license, if it is indeed suspended by the court.
Contact me today to get the skilled and experienced representation you deserve. I offer a free initial consultation to prospective clients to discuss their situation and their options.
