Drug offenses charged in Virginia that lead to convictions can have serious ramifications for one’s livelihood, ability to drive, reputation and, possibly, your ability to obtain financial aid for college.
If your driver's license was revoked or disqualified because of a felony Driving Under the Influence or you were declared an habitual offender, getting your driving privileges back is not something that automatically happens after a period of time has passed. You must be proactive and apply to have your driving privileges reinstated.
Even if you are found not guilty, a charge against you was dismissed or dropped, it will still show up on your record. A background search of you will show that you were arrested. Perhaps you are applying for a job with a security clearance or job that is sensitive in nature, a background check showing you were arrested for anything at all may be a huge factor for a prospective employer and their hiring decision.
Driving Under the Influence cases can be very complicated. Each case is unique and you want an experienced attorney at your side.
If you have been charged with felony or misdemeanor offenses, you have the right to be represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney who will fight for you.
If you were convicted of a felony, you can't possess a firearm in Virginia. You can be charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon even if you are just near a firearm. And depending on when you were convicted and what you were convicted of, you could face long periods of mandatory incarceration. However, the good news is that you can have your firearm rights restored.
Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL) are valuable. If you have one, your job probably requires it. Your livelihood could depend on having one. Certain convictions can result in your being disqualified from having one. Your employer may fire you for insurance purposes if you get convicted of certain moving violations. Even a conviction for driving 15 miles over the speed limit (not considered Reckless Driving) can greatly affect your CDL.
Sex offense crimes can be one of the scariest of charges that can be levied against someone.
