Quality and Experienced Northern Virginia and Fairfax Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
If you have been arrested on suspicion of drinking while driving around Reston, Fairfax County or elsewhere in northern Virginia, you know firsthand how brushes with this law can change a life in an instant.
Since 1975, our law firm has welcomed the opportunity to bring founding attorney Steven M. Garver's quality legal services to real people with real problems. A driver's license suspension, lack of access to your family and risk of jail time definitely qualify as problems.
If you are stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, you may be required to take a breath test, a blood test or both. Your refusal to take such tests may result in the loss of your license, though no other criminal penalty. The Supreme Court of Virginia has determined that you may not refuse to take the tests because you want to talk to an attorney first. You are not required, however, to take dexterity tests such as walking a straight line, touching your nose, standing on one leg, counting or reciting the alphabet.
Virginia Attorney Representing Drivers Charged With a DUI/DWI
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, and may even include installment of a mandatory alcohol sensor in your vehicle. Also, blood alcohol content minimums as probable causes for arrests have been reduced dramatically.
