Virginia Attorneys Defending Against Traffic Offenses
Hancock Law Practice represents first-time offenders, habitual offenders, and commercial operators who are accused of serious traffic offenses in Northern Virginia. If you have been charged with a serious traffic violation, we will defend your rights and challenge the evidence:
-
DUI: Our law firm has significant experience in defending against DUI/DWI charges. We carefully examine the officer's reason for the stop and the basis for arrest. We scrutinize the officer's use of field sobriety tests. We also challenge the validity of the results of breath tests and blood tests.
-
Reckless Driving: We handle reckless driving cases involving speeding, passing buses, racing, and dangerous driving in parking lots. We challenge how the police officer determined that your driving was "reckless" under the law, as well as the validity of radar equipment, other speed determination devices, and witness testimony.
-
Driving on a Suspended License: Driver's license suspension can occur after a DUI, a conviction for felony drug possession, and other criminal convictions-even for being seriously delinquent in child support payments. A conviction for driving on suspended license can carry serious consequences involving fines, additional license suspension, and jail time.
-
Hit and Run Offenses: In Virginia, drivers are required to stop if they have been involved in an accident that caused injury, death, or damage to attended property. If you are accused of fleeing the scene of an accident, whether it was allegedly due to DUI, reckless driving, or another reason, we can help. We challenge these charges when there are issues of mistaken identity and other problems.
Offenses such as DUI and reckless driving are Class 1 misdemeanors, which can result in jail time and significant fines. Traffic violations are serious and must be taken seriously. An experienced traffic defense lawyer can help you understand the criminal justice system and your rights after an arrest.
We Help With More Than the Initial Traffic Offenses
Our firm will work with you throughout the process, from handling a related speeding ticket to getting your license back. If you have a suspended license, we can help with license restoration after the suspension period is up. This does not happen automatically, so talking to a lawyer familiar with suspended licenses is important.
