Aggressive Defense Against DUI Charges in Virginia
Like most states, Virginia has harsh penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol. A DUI conviction could be catastrophic to your life. You could be facing fines, loss of license, or incarceration.
As former public defenders, our Fairfax DUI lawyers have a wealth of experience defending clients from DUI charges. Kissiah & Schaefer, PLLC, focuses on understanding our clients and helping them communicate their unique stories and circumstances in a way that will be compelling to the judge and jury. We can defend you against DUI charges.
Protecting Your Rights
From the initial stop to incarceration, there are many ways that the arresting officer and other police personnel can err. These errors amount to a violation of a defendant's rights. Our Fairfax DUI lawyers are well-versed in the law, as well as the technical science involved with these cases. We know how to analyze the facts surrounding DUI cases:
- The police stop
- Any issues of illegal search and seizure
- The Breathalyzer or blood test used to determine your blood-alcohol content
- The arrest
- Interrogation techniques
- Incarceration
The police sometimes make mistakes regularly in these proceedings, and we can use these mistakes to minimize the charges and sentencing, and in some cases, get cases dismissed.
Administrative License Suspension | Protecting Your Driving Privileges
Every DUI case in Virginia involves two separate aspects: the criminal proceeding and the administrative driver's license revocation process. With DUI charges, your driver's license will be revoked and you will need to face the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). There are strict timelines to respond after a DUI charge, so contact us immediately. We can help you with the administrative process, as well as the DUI proceedings in criminal court.
