Roanoke and Franklin County, Virginia Traffic & Speeding Attorney
Blue and red lights are flashing in your rear view mirror. Every driver’s fear has suddenly become your reality. How fast were you going? Did you miss that stop sign back a mile back? Are you sure you put that blinker on before changing lanes?
These are the thoughts that race through our minds in the time that it takes the officer approaches and says “license and registration, please.” This time, which always seems like an eternity, also makes us wonder, “Just how many points do I have on my license?”
If you believe you weren’t speeding, came to a complete stop, or did put your blinker on and want to fight the ticket, the Davis Law Firm is here for you. We’re also here for you if the
number of points on your license is about to put you over the limit and raise your insurance premiums, require that you go to traffic school, or lead to the loss of your license.
Roanoke and Franklin County, Virginia DUI/DWI Attorney
The penalties for driving under the influence in Virginia are huge. As a first time offender in Virginia, you can receive a mandatory 5 day jail sentence if your blood alcohol level is .15 or above, or a 10 day jail sentence if your blood alcohol level is 0.21 or above. On top of the jail time there is a minimum fine of $250, the loss of your license for 12 months, and various other fees and mandatory programs to worry about.
And those numbers are only for the minimum sentence. Without an experienced attorney negotiating with the district attorney and representing you in front of the court, you may be in for higher fines and a longer stay in jail. With more than a century of experience in Roanoke, Virginia’s courthouses, the Davis Law Firm can help you through the legal system to get you the best possible result and let you go on with your life.
Roanoke and Franklin County, Virginia Criminal Defense Attorney
One of the cornerstones of the American criminal justice system is the belief that every accused person is “innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” Unfortunately, in the age of six o’clock news programs that show pictures of the accused, give details about the crime, and allow the police to give their opinions, not everyone accused of a crime starts out on equal ground.
Aggressive, experienced trial attorneys like the Davis Law Firm can help put you back on equal footing if you stand accused of a crime. Because of the long jail sentences, fines, potential for seizure of assets, and the public stigma of being found guilty of a crime, you cannot afford to select the wrong attorney. Our attorneys have tried over one thousand (1,000) trials and have negotiated countless plea deals for our clients.
Our firm defends clients in Roanoke, Rocky Mount, Boones Mill, Franklin County, Bedford County, Martinsville and Henry County, VA.
Getting caught speeding not only costs you the face value of the ticket, but can increase your insurance premiums and even cause you to lose your license if you have accumulated too many points. But there are many ways to avoid these negative consequences. The skilled attorneys at Davis, Davis, Davis & Davis, PC, can help you minimize the costs of a speeding ticket or reckless driving violation.
At the Davis law firm, we understand that criminal defendants have an uphill battle. This is especially true in Virginia, where the criminal defense lawyer’s ability to conduct “discovery,” the process by which evidence is obtained, is extremely limited. Unlike a civil trial, where witnesses are often asked to give depositions and all exhibits must be turned over to opposing counsel before trial, in a criminal trial, the Commonwealth’s attorney is required to turn over almost no evidence to the defense.
The Davis Law Firm has served Rocky Mount, Virginia and surrounding areas for over 100 years. Our experienced trial lawyers are skilled in DUI and DWI representation. Put our experience to work for you before one night’s mistake becomes a lifetime of regret.
