DUI/DWI Attorney in Prince William County, VA
Driving under the influence (DUI/DWI) is one of the most common criminal offenses in Prince William County, and the penalties associated with a conviction escalate dramatically with any subsequent violations. According to section 18.2-266 of the code of Virginia, you can be charged with a DUI/DWI if you are found to be operating a vehicle on public property with a blood alcohol content at or above .08%.
Section 18.2-270 of the code of Virginia states that even a first conviction means a mandatory driver’s license suspension, fines, and possible jail time, as well as a criminal record that could affect the rest of your life. Jail time is mandatory with a second or subsequent conviction, and a third or subsequent conviction is a felony crime.
The stakes are high for those convicted of a DUI/DWI in Prince William County
A conviction could cost you your job or your security clearance, or prevent you from finding employment or housing or getting a security clearance in the future. You’ll have to provide proof of your financial responsibility and will be required to have vehicle insurance with more coverage than the usual state minimums, and you likely will pay more for that coverage because of the DUI/DWI conviction.
Yes, You CAN Fight a DUI/DWI Charge—and We Can Help You
Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe that they cannot fight a DUI/DWI charge, particularly if the breath analysis test showed a BAC above the legal limit.
If the officer who cited you didn’t have sufficient reason to pull you over, if there were problems with how blood or breath tests were administered, or factors that may have produced falsely high results, an experienced DUI/DWI defense lawyer may be able to help you fight the charge. Remember, even if you cannot completely overcome a DUI/DWI charge, we may be able to help you negotiate lesser charges or penalties.

I have never needed a lawyer before and did not know what to expect. Raj was able to answer all of my questions and explain to me what to expect and how he intended to help. He responded to e-mails promptly and was efficient and friendly throughout our interactions. He kept me up to speed with everything and was able to effectively execute his plan. I would definitely recommend him to anyone requiring representation and would work with him again if it was required.
Raj did a phenomenal job with my reckless driving case… After doing my research, reading all the reviews, talking to couple of other lawyers, I decided to go with Raj. and I am so so so thankful I did. Not only he is professional and knows what he is doing, he is a very kind human being which I did not sense when talking to other lawyers. He works his best to get you the best outcome. He constantly assures you and calms you that it will be okay and keeps you posted throughout the process. Not to mention he is reasonably affordable compared to other lawyers who has half the experience Raj has, and he is reachable by cellphone, he also returns calls and emails in a swift manner, so you don’t have to talk to assistants and secretaries. Communication with him was very easy.
Raj is a fantastic lawyer with excellent customer service skills (a rare mix for lawyers in my experience). He was very knowledgeable, personable, efficient, and professional. I was very at ease with my decision to retain his services. Throughout my time working with him, he was always courteous and was very efficient with his and my time. In the end, Raj achieved the result I wanted despite very difficult odds. I strongly recommend Raj’s services!
