Traffic Violation Attorneys

Driving is a privilege, not a right. If drivers disregard Virginia traffic laws and operate their vehicles irresponsibly, the penalties can be quite costly. As a result, it is always worthwhile to contact a reputable lawyer after receiving a traffic citation of any kind.

When you recieve a traffic ticket, count on Hunter Law Firm’s substantial experience representing clients accused of a variety of traffic violations, from speeding to reckless driving. Since 1986, we have stood by residents of Hampton, Newport News Chesapeake, Williamsburg and surrounding cities.

Depending on the severity of the traffic offense, the driver can expect negative repercussions, including the following:

• A ticket for speeding, reckless driving, or other moving violation
• Demerit points that remain on the driving record for 2 to 11 years, depending upon the severity of the offense
• An increase in auto insurance premium rates
• Suspension or revocation of driving privileges

Reckless driving or speeding in excess of 80 mph, involuntary manslaughter, and driving under the influence (DUI) are among the most serious violations. They are punishable by six demerits and can remain on your driving record for 11 years.

For example, habitual offenders in Virginia can lose their driving privileges after receiving three major traffic-related convictions or 12 minor traffic-related convictions within a ten-year period. It is a felony to drive after one is declared a habitual offender.

Virginia laws are especially tough on drunk or drugged drivers. Penalties for a DUI conviction can include the following:
