If you’re charged with a crime in Virginia, you have the right to confront the witnesses against you. If there’s a scientific certificate of analysis at issue in the case, your confrontation right includes the people who actually did the analysis. But did you know that your lawyer could waive that right without you even […]
Many of my DWI clients have questions about the ignition interlock device that will be required if they’re convicted of the DWI charge. We’ve compiled a list of interlock providers and prices, but I didn’t think that was enough to explain exactly what interlock is. I wanted to SHOW how what it is and how […]

Don’t say it. Please! This particular defendant was charged with […]
If you’re thinking about getting your speedometer calibrated, you need to make sure it will be admissible in court. Instead of just telling clients what to do, I went straight to the source. I recorded the entire calibration process, so you can see what the mechanic should be doing. For calibrations in the greater Fredericksburg […]
If you’re found guilty of Virginia DUI, an ignition interlock device will be required for your restricted license. You’ll need it for at least six months. The best way to avoid ignition interlock is of course to be found not guilty of the offense. Call me today at 540.318.5824 to begin your defense. Fredericksburg ignition […]
The best defense for a Virginia reckless driving ticket is to find a problem within the officer’s calibration. This obviously applies to speed-related offenses only.
