When You Need an Experienced Defense Attorney
When the power of the state is set against you, call upon an experienced Virginia Beach DUI lawyer who knows the law and knows how to protect your legal rights.
If you have been charged with DUI in Virginia Beach or in another city in the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is normally in your best interest to retain a Virginia defense attorney who concentrates in Virginia DUI law. In Virginia, there is no legal distinction between a charge of DUI and DWI. Under Virginia Code Section 18.2-266, one may be found guilty of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol if admissible and reliable evidence is presented to the court to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the operator's BAC was at a 0.08 or higher or that the operator was under the influence. In Virginia, a defendant may be found guilty even without a BAC number if other evidence is presented to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Effective criminal law practice requires special attorney knowledge and training, especially in the area of DUI defense in Virginia.
From the initial traffic stop, to the preliminary police questioning, to the request for field sobriety tests, to the preliminary alco-senser breath test, to the arrest on probable cause, to the transport to the police station and requirements of breath machine testing, Mr. Kuligowski, an experienced Virginia Beach DUI lawyer of the Legal Defense Center, will review the entire DUI process for errors and sufficiency of the evidence.
Sometimes a dismissal or reduction of the charge is the goal, while other times avoiding jail time is the aim of the defense attorney.
Every case is different and needs to be independently evaluated by a skilled Virginia Beach DUI attorney.
Get the peace of mind you need. Get the experience and dedication you can trust.
When searching for DUI attorneys in Virginia Beach be sure to check into their actual court experience handling DUI cases in Virginia. Not all attorneys have the same level of experience and training in Virginia DUI law. DUI law is an exceptionally technical area of law inasmuch as constitutional, statutory, administrative and police department procedures apply. Conviction is normally based upon machine generated evidence and oftentimes upon a police officer's subjective interpretation of field sobriety testing results of which are only reliable when administered according to standardized guidelines and criteria. Attorneys practicing Virginia DUI law should have a working knowledge of the laws associated with the admissibility of the blood alcohol level test results and of the guidelines and criteria associated with the proper administration of the three standardized field sobriety tests.
