Question:
What are the penalties for a DWI conviction in Virginia?
Answer:
If you’ve been charged with a DUI or DWI in Virginia, you want to make sure that you contact an experience DUI or DWI attorney right away. The main reason being is because even if it’s your first offense, you are still going to be facing extreme consequences. A DUI or DWI is a class one misdemeanor. That means that it carries up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine, as well as a 12-month loss of your license and a permanent criminal record. There are other punishments that go along with this such as increased insurance rates. You would have a DUI in your record for the rest of your life. It could affect your employment. The list goes on and on. You want to make sure that you have someone on your side who can help minimize those consequences.
Now, a lot of people ask, “Am I going to go to jail for a first offense DUI?” That question depends on the facts and circumstances but there are actually circumstances where there’s mandatory jail time if you are found guilty of a DUI. If it’s a second offense or if your blood alcohol level is extremely high, you may be facing mandatory jail time. You’re going to want to talk to somebody right away who can help you understand the process, who can help you fight to make sure that you get the result that you deserve.
