Frequently Asked Questions

What are the possible consequences of a DWI conviction in Virginia?

Penalties can include license suspension, fines, a mandatory ignition interlock device, higher insurance premiums, and sometimes jail time. The court considers prior offenses and circumstances when determining penalties.

How is a DWI arrest different from a DUI in Virginia?

Virginia law uses DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) interchangeably for legal and court purposes. Both carry the same penalties according to Virginia statutes.

Can I refuse a breathalyzer or field sobriety test?

Refusing a chemical test after arrest in Virginia usually leads to license suspension and can impact your defense. Virginia's implied consent law requires testing after a valid arrest for DWI.

Will a DWI charge show up on my record?

A conviction for DWI in Virginia stays on your criminal and driving record, often affecting jobs, insurance, and sometimes travel. Reduced charges or dismissals may have different long-term effects on your record.

How soon should I contact a lawyer after a DWI arrest?

Contacting a DWI attorney in Virginia promptly helps you protect your rights and gives you time to respond to deadlines for hearings, filings, and DMV requirements. Early legal guidance often leads to better decision-making throughout your case.
