Skilled Virginia DWI Lawyer
Driving in Virginia is a privilege granted by the state; a privilege that can be suspended or revoked for drunk driving (driving while intoxicated - DWI). In Virginia, you are presumed drunk if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08 or higher.
However, the police have certain procedures they must follow, and you have rights you can invoke. For example, you are entitled to an attorney if you are arrested. You are not required to submit to field sobriety tests or to hand-held breathalyzers, but you are required to submit to a breathalyzer at the police station.
In addition, an experienced DWI defense lawyer understands the procedure, the problems with breathalyzer calibration, the legality of the stop, and the constitutionality of any statements given.
Also, he can represent you in any DMV hearings regarding your driver's license suspension or driver's license revocation. These hearings are separate from the criminal charges.
