When arrested for a DUI in Virginia, your driver’s license is immediately suspended for a minimum of seven days and you face the possibility of jail time, expensive fines and fees, probation, and a one year or longer loss of your driver’s license.

Why were you charged with driving under the influence? In Virginia, you can be arrested for DUI if the officer had probable cause to believe you were drinking and driving (i.e.: smelling alcohol on your breath, slurred speech, etc.). You can also be arrested for DUI if you take a breath test and your blood alcohol content is over .08%. This is known as a “per se” violation, which means you don’t necessarily have to be drunk to be arrested for DUI! However, in order to prove a “per se” violation in court, the prosecution must have your blood or breath test as evidence.

Of course, depending on the circumstances surrounding your case you may not have to face some of these DUI penalties. The Boone Beale Law Firm understands that your case is unique. We take a unique approach to every case tried in court. While you may not think you have a fighting chance, it’s important to know that we have won numerous cases, even when the person charged with driving under the influence tested above the legal limit.
