Accused of a DUI in Hampton Roads?
Don't face the
uncertainty alone.
A DUI arrest can happen quickly, but the consequences can continue long after the initial traffic stop. Depending on the circumstances, you may be dealing with court proceedings, driver's license concerns, alcohol or drug testing, insurance consequences, and other issues while your case is pending. Virginia DUI cases may involve allegations of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of substances. The prosecution may rely on evidence such as an officer's observations, field sobriety tests, breath test results, blood test results, statements, dashcam or body-camera footage, and other evidence gathered during the investigation. At McCormack & McCormack, our attorneys take a thorough, hands-on approach to every DUI case. We examine the circumstances of the traffic stop and arrest, review the available evidence, evaluate testing procedures, and look for potential legal issues that may affect the case. A DUI charge can also have consequences beyond the criminal case. Your driving privileges, employment, professional responsibilities, and other aspects of your future may be affected. For service members, a DUI allegation can create additional military consequences that require careful consideration. Whether you are facing a first DUI, a second or subsequent DUI, a drug-related DUI, or another serious driving offense, obtaining experienced legal representation can help you understand your rights and determine the best way to move forward.
