## Traffic & DUI Defense: Protect Your License, Record and Career

In Virginia, many traffic offenses are more serious than people expect. Reckless driving and DUI are criminal charges that can bring fines, license suspension and even jail time. We help you protect your license, your record and your livelihood.

In Virginia, many traffic offenses are more serious than people expect. Reckless driving and DUI are criminal charges, and a conviction can mean heavy fines, the loss of your driving privileges, a permanent record and, for many Northern Virginia professionals, a threat to a security clearance.

## Charges We Handle

- Reckless driving, including reckless driving by speed
- Speeding and other moving violations
- DUI/DWI involving alcohol or drugs
- Refusal of a breath or blood test
- Driving on a suspended license

## How We Build Your Defense

We review why you were stopped, what tests were given, how they were administered and whether procedures were followed. Attention to detail is often what makes the difference in reducing fines and penalties, protecting your license, or getting a charge reduced or dismissed.

## Your License, Record and Clearance

An arrest for reckless driving or DUI can put a security clearance, and the job that depends on it, at risk. We keep your record and your career in view from day one.

## Frequently Asked Questions

  Is reckless driving a criminal offense in Virginia?

Yes. Reckless driving in Virginia is generally a criminal misdemeanor, not a simple traffic infraction. A conviction can carry fines, license suspension, demerit points and a criminal record, which is why it deserves careful attention.

  Do I really need a lawyer for a traffic ticket?

For a minor infraction, maybe not. For reckless driving, DUI, driving on a suspended license or any charge that could affect your license, record or job, speaking with an attorney is strongly recommended.
