Randall, Page & Bruch, P.C. – Attorneys at Law

Virginia Beach, DUI Attorney

One of the most serious charges you can face in Virginia Beach is DUI. If you are a loved one who has been accused of driving while under the influence, you will need to contact a Virginia Beach DUI attorney from Randall, Page & Bruch P.C.

You should also note that there may be instances when you can decline a breath test. This happens when an officer wishes to conduct a preliminary breathing test. This is an optional test, and the office is required to inform you of such. These results are also not admissible in court. A post-arrest breath test, on the other hand, is not optional.

Consequences for DUI in Virginia Beach

According to Virginia Beach laws, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One thing that may shock you is that you can be charged with a DUI even without providing a blood alcohol content sample. Some consequences you may face include:

  • 12 months in jail
  • Six months in jail
  • License suspensions
  • Ignition interlocks
  • Fines from $250 to $2,500

The severity of the incident will determine your consequences and your first offense, second offense, third offense, and the period that the offense occurred. For example, if you have had two offenses during five years, you can significantly face having your license revoked. If there are children in the vehicle with you, these charges may become even more severe, even being charged with Felony Child Neglect.

It is important to note key differences between DUI and DWI. While the terms are often used interchangeably, they are, in fact, different. A DWI is when a person is driving while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of over .08%. DUI is when a person is driving under the influence of alcohol, and the limit does not play a role in this charge.

Whether you are facing a DUI or DWI, you will need the help of a Virginia Beach DUI attorney with the experience and resources to defend you.
