DUI/DWI
Experienced Criminal Defense in Fairfax, Virginia
Aggressive Representation in DUI and DWI Cases
If you have been arrested for a DUI or DWI in Fairfax or Northern Virginia, you need to contact an attorney immediately to get experienced representation on your side. Without getting the protection your rights deserve, even first-time DUI offenders can receive jail time and other harsh penalties upon conviction.
The law firm of Clingan Tull Easley, PLLC, can provide effective drunk driving defense to clients who are accused of the serious crimes of DUI or DWI. Many prospective clients are unsure of what an attorney can do for them in their case. An experienced DWI lawyer can investigate the initial stop, the chemical test provided and any other procedure related to the arrest or the gathering of evidence. Our attorneys know how to best challenge each and every aspect of the investigation, from the roadside field sobriety tests to the breathalyzer results. We will utilize any appropriate defense and fight for the best resolution for you.
There are three important questions that our attorneys will ask in every DUI case:
- When you were pulled over, did the police officer have a reasonable suspicion that you were driving in an illegal manner?
- Did the officer lawfully detain or arrest you for the DUI or DWI violation?
- Was your blood alcohol level greater than .08?
Penalties for drunk driving can be severe and can dramatically change your way of life. In Virginia, a DUI is a class 1 misdemeanor. All persons convicted of a DUI are, by law, required to lose their driving privileges for one year. Generally, first-time offenders of drunk driving do not have to spend time in jail, but will often be sentenced with probation and a hefty fine. Subsequent violations, or any injuries that result from the DUI, will also result in more penalties. Other attorneys may quickly plead a first-time offender with a low blood alcohol level. Our office will force the prosecutor to prove those cases before the court because, quite simply, in those cases there is little to lose and much to gain from challenging the charges.
