Types of Traffic Cases We Handle in Caroline County

• Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol: A first offense DUI is a class one misdemeanor which carries certain statutory mandatory punishments. Depending upon the level of alcohol in your blood system, a DUI may result in mandatory jail time. Conviction of a first offense DUI also imposes a mandatory suspension of your Virginia driver’s license or privilege to drive; although you may be eligible for a restricted license. Often, the DUI lawyers at The Weiland Firm, PLC are able to successfully challenge a DUI case based upon an improper stop by the police, an invalid arrest, or a problem with the alcohol test.
  
  
• Speeding: Our lawyers are able to provide you with solid legal advice on the implications of a speeding offense. As with reckless driving by speed, a speeding offense must be proved by the Commonwealth of Virginia beyond a reasonable doubt. The lawyers at The Weiland Firm, PLC will review your case to identify any possible defenses. Additionally, in certain speeding cases, our lawyers may be able to eliminate the speeding offense upon completion of a court approved defensive driving class. The Weiland Firm, PLC will identify the best way to help you avoid the accumulation of excessive demerit points and increased insurance premiums.
  
  
• Reckless Driving by Speed: Like a DUI, reckless driving by speed is a criminal charge in Virginia. Reckless driving by speed is defined as 20 or more miles over the speed limit or any speed over 85 miles per hour. Reckless driving carries six (6) demerit points in Virginia and may also include a fine (up to $2,500), suspension of your Virginia Driver’s license or privilege to drive, and the imposition of jail. You should be careful who you hire to handle your reckless driving offense, as cases involving very high speeds carry a real potential for an active jail sentence. Our lawyers are dedicated to helping you avoid a reckless driving criminal conviction, a jail sentence, higher insurance premiums, license suspension, and the accumulation of excessive demerit points.
  
  
• Reckless Driving – Accident: Charges of reckless driving or failure to maintain control resulting in an accident are crimes. We are ready to find the most effective legal defense available to you, so we can help you avoid a criminal conviction, loss of your driving privileges, increased insurance premiums, and the accumulation of excessive demerit points. In Virginia, the mere occurrence of an accident does not mean the driver is guilty of reckless driving. The reckless driving lawyers at The Weiland Firm, PLC have won numerous cases based on the Commonwealth’s inability to establish the elements of the offense.
  
  
• Driving on Suspended or Revoked License: We are ready to help you identify the reason for your license suspension and guide you through the process of getting your license reinstated. We will attempt to obtain a court date for you that will give you the best opportunity to reinstate your driver’s license prior to trial.
