Virginia Beach DUI Lawyer

DUI Attorney in Virginia Beach

DUI charges are not a small matter in Virginia.  The penalties are stiff and if you have been charged, you have a serious legal problem.  Being arrested can be very embarrassing and upsetting, as law enforcement does not look kindly upon drunk driving and treat the accused accordingly.  It is true that in a first DUI offense you may lose your license.  In fact the penalties may include up to one year in jail, fines in the amount of up to $2,500, probation and mandatory enrollment and full attendance and completion of the Virginia state alcohol safety action program (VASAP).  Without the assistance of an experienced DUI attorney, the likelihood of conviction and these penalties increases.  It is crucial that you contact a Virginia Beach DUI attorney if you have been charged with a DUI.

Attorney Vaughan C. Jones has defended countless individuals who have been charged with a DUI.  There are certain actions that must be taken without delay if you hope to bring forward a successful defense.  The first step is a thorough review of the evidence against you.  This includes all the details of how you were pulled over, what tests were administered and by whom.   No stone should be left unturned when you have been arrested and charged with a DUI.  In many cases the charges have been dismissed or reduced.   Without legal counsel, the likelihood of such a result can diminish.

 In DUI cases, often a “BAC” (Blood Alcohol Concentration) test has been administered.  No test is completely without error.  It is crucial that the evidence of the test is reviewed, as in the past in certain cases it was discovered that faulty equipment was being used and this discovery was extremely helpful in the case.   Some people have been arrested and charged with DUI who were actually not over the allowed level, but the test registered incorrectly.  Law enforcement procedure in the case must also be reviewed.  Don’t take chances, contact DUI defense attorney Vaughan C. Jones immediately after your arrest.
