Arlington DUI Defense Lawyer
Were you arrested for DUI in Arlington?
There is probably nothing more frightening than facing criminal charges in Virginia. Virginia is known for having particularly harsh sentencing for those individuals who are arrested for DUI and you will be no exception. For this reason, the sooner you get the help of an Arlington DUI defense attorney, the better off you will be.
The right attorney will know how to question law enforcement's procedure, as well as how they gathered evidence against you. Attorney Scott C. Nolan has been defending the residents of Virginia against DUI charges for years and in many cases he has helped his clients keep their driver's license and stay out of jail.
DUI: Areas of Practice
It is against the law to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or greater in Virginia. However, you don't have to be under the influence of alcohol to be convicted of DUI. If it can be proven that your driving ability was impaired while you were under the influence of an over the counter drug, a prescription medication or an illegal drug, then you can face the same penalties as driving under the influence of alcohol.
The firm is adept at handling all aspects of a DUI case from an unlawful police stop, to
field sobriety tests, to challenging
blood & breath tests. Mr. Nolan can also explain
DUI penalties, what happens to
out of state drivers, and all other DUI matters. He can also inform you of what to expect from
DUI involving accidents,
DUI involving drugs,
multiple DUI's,
implied consent refusal, and
driving while suspended.
Aggressive DUI Defense
On a first time DUI conviction, the driver faces a one year driver's license suspension and from $250 to $2,500 in fines. A second DUI conviction involves a three year license revocation and up to one year in jail. These penalties can have life-altering consequences for the accused. Having the right attorney on the line can make a substantial difference in the penalties that you ultimately face. If you or someone you love were arrested for DUI, then it would be in your best interests to contact an Arlington DUI defense attorney from the Law Offices of Scott C. Nolan without delay.
