Drunk Drivers and Speeders Beware in Virginia

Over the last several weeks, Virginia has seen a sharp increase in fatal accidents, many of which have been caused by drunk drivers and reckless drivers. As a result, Virginia police officers are increasing patrols all over roadways to catch drivers that have been drinking or speeding excessively on highways.

If you are caught drinking and driving and charged with a DWI, it is important to hire an experienced Virginia attorney to represent you to help avoid the most serious consequences. If you are charged with reckless driving, another very serious offense in Virginia, it is also very important to hire an attorney to represent you because if convicted, it is a criminal charge that will remain on your record. An experienced attorney will work to amend the speed reported by the police officer to a number that is under the reckless driving threshold (20 mph over the speed limit or over 80mph).
