Driving Under the Influence

If you have been accused of driving under the influence in Virginia, you stand to lose more than just your driving privileges. A first offense of DUI is a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries up to a year in jail on a conviction. However, if you injured another person as a result of your drunk driving, the charge may be escalated to a Class 6 felony, carrying a minimum prison sentence of one year and a maximum of five years.

As serious DUI charges can be, there are still valid defenses that an attorney can cite on your behalf. When going over the details of your arrest, one of the first things our lawyers will question is whether or not the traffic stop was legal. If your attorney can prove that the officer did not have a clear reason to pull you over, then the charges against you could be dismissed in court. In certain other cases, our lawyers may be able to argue that the officer's methods of testing were faulty, and therefore should not be counted as admissible evidence. At Robinson Law, PLLC, our attorneys can sit down with you to discuss your best defense before going to trial.

Drug Offenses

Drug crimes carry a heavy stigma in Virginia, and if convicted, you could face severe penalties, including thousands of dollars in fines or even decades in prison. Robinson Law, PLLC defends Woodbridge residents against state and federal drug offenses, fighting to have charges minimized at every opportunity.

The charges for any given drug crime can vary drastically. Possession of certain dangerous drugs like cocaine or heroin is grounds for a felony. However, even lower-schedule drugs can come with felony charges in cases involving large quantities or accusations of possession with intent to distribute. If you are accused of trafficking drugs across state lines, the federal government is likely to get involved, and you may face much stricter prosecution and higher stakes during your case.

Protecting and enforcing your constitutional rights is critical for beating a drug charge. If any drugs or related paraphernalia were seized from your home or person without a warrant, our lawyers can argue to have the illegally obtained evidence suppressed. Even if the evidence against you was obtained with your permission, you can still have it suppressed if you were intimidated and gave your consent under duress.
