DUI and Traffic Offenses
The negative consequences of a drunk driving arrest have been well publicized. Other serious traffic offenses may not have DUI's notoriety, but the ramifications of a conviction can be just as far reaching. If you have been charged with DWI, hit-and-run, driving on a suspended license, or reckless driving, then you are facing the possibility of a jail sentence, a substantial fine, and the loss of your driver's license. You need an attorney who can help reduce or eliminate these potential consequences. At the law offices of Briglia Hundley Nuttall &Kay, P.C., we protect the rights of individuals facing traffic violations and drunk driving charges throughout Northern Virginia. Our lawyers have over 70 years of combined experience handling these types of charges. We appear on an almost daily basis in Virginia's state and federal traffic courts.
DUI and DWI
Public interest groups such as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) have been working effectively for many years to increase the penalties imposed for a drunk driving conviction. In response, the Virginia legislature amends and rewrites the DWI laws on an almost annual basis. Virginia's DWI statute has become one of the most complex criminal statutes on the books. Because of the high number of DWI arrests occurring throughout the state, the validity of the DWI laws are constantly being challenged throughout Virginia's court system. If you have been charged with DWI, you will need a lawyer with a firm grasp of all the legal issues that might effect your rights. These complex cases can involve constitutional issues, technical rules of evidence, the science of toxicology, and the use of expert witnesses. Our attorneys constantly monitor, research, and litigate DWI cases so that we are prepared to address the state's constantly changing laws with innovative and successful criminal defense solutions.
Traffic Offenses
Traffic infractions can add up quickly. The more you have, the more serious they become. Over a short period of time, you can find yourself facing the possibility of jail sentences and license suspensions, not just simple fines. Fortunately, there are potential defenses for all traffic offenses, from the most simple violations to the most egregious examples of dangerous driving. We are not afraid to take a stand on your behalf and take your case to trial if you have been charged with the following:
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Driving with a suspended license
- Hit-and-Run
