Traffic Violations
In the course of an ordinary drive, you may violate a traffic law in Virginia. Forget to signal a turn, fail to come to a complete stop or exceed the speed limit, and you could be stopped and be ticketed. But some traffic violations are more serious and carry significant fines, may lead to a license suspension or, for some drivers, cost them their job.
Sex Crimes
Criminal charges in Virginia can range from misdemeanors on up to serious felonies. If you have been charged with a serious offense, like a sex crime, drug trafficking, domestic violence, or murder, you know you need a lawyer.
Misdemeanors
Maybe you were stopped for driving on a suspended license after a DUI or had too many speeding tickets. This is a serious misdemeanor, just short of a felony charge. You could be fined up to $2,500. You never want to just “pay the ticket” before consulting an attorney.
