Convictions for misdemeanor traffic charges can have severe repercussions, including up to twelve months in jail and up to $2,500 in fines, restrictions on your driving privileges or even the loss of your driving license. If you have been charged with felony violations the penalties are even more severe. Furthermore, Virginia law requires mandatory jail time for certain offenses. Perhaps the longest lasting effect, however, is the resulting significant increase to your insurance premiums that may follow a conviction for even a simple speeding ticket.
As is true in other criminal cases, there are certain procedural requirements that must be met before the government can introduce evidence against you in traffic cases. As a police officer and a prosecutor I handled literally thousands of traffic cases. I have experience in these matters that enables me to assist you and protect your rights when you are charged with any type of traffic offense.
