3. Garver Law Offices: * Drunk Driving (DUI/DWI) * Drinking While Driving * Underage Drinking * First, Second and Third DUI/DWI Offenders * Felony DUI/DWI * Reckless or Vehicular Homicide Legislators and law enforcement officials throughout Virginia have developed a no-tolerance policy for the act of drinking while driving. Penalties have become stricter in recent years. Blood alcohol content minimums as probable causes for arrests have been reduced dramatically. You do not want to be exposed to those penalties.
4. Blasz, Patrick: The state of Virginia is extremely tough on drunk drivers. Consequences can include mandatory jail timeÑeven on a first offense (if over .15 blood alcohol level)Ñsuspension of driver's privileges, costly fines and significant increases in insurance premiums.
5. Truax, Nancy: If you are charged with a crime, you need an attorney to protect your rights. You cannot be found guilty of a crime unless the CommonwealthÕs Attorney proves your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The constitution provides you with many rights and protections throughout the criminal process, including the right to an attorney, the right to be free from unlawful search and seizure, the right to remain silent. If the police violate these rights, you may be able to have the evidence gathered as a result of the violation excluded, and without that evidence, the Commonwealth may have no alternative but to dismiss the charges. In many (if not most) cases, the defendant and the Commonwealth enter into a plea agreement in which the Commonwealth agrees to reduce or dismiss certain charges in exchange for the defendantÕs agreement to plead guilty to the lesser charge. Additionally, while the CommonwealthÕs Attorney cannot guarantee what the ultimate punishment in a plea bargain case will be, the agreement can contain a provision where the CommonwealthÕs Attorney agrees to recommend a particular sentence, agrees not to object to a particular sentence requested by the defendant, or agrees that a particular sentence is the appropriate sentence in that case. The Court may accept or reject the agreement, but if the agreement is rejected, the defendant may withdraw the plea. With respect to the sentence, the judge is not bound by the recommendations by the CommonwealthÕs Attorney or the request of the defendant, and must notify the defendant of that fact. Depending on the charges, the court can sentence the defendant to confinement in jail or prison, can suspend all or part of the confinement, and can order the defendant into probation. The court can also order restitution or community service.
6. Jay Myerson: If you have been charged with DWI, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
