DUI Defense

A DUI charge can change your life forever. If convicted of driving under the influence in Virginia, you could go to jail, pay heavy fines, and lose your driver’s license for months or years.

That’s why you need a DUI defense attorney who knows the system and will get right to work protecting your rights. We understand the rules police and prosecutors have to follow, and we will hold them accountable if your rights were violated. We know how to get your driver’s license reinstated and how to fight back against DUI charges in negotiations and at court.

Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to get your charges dropped, reduced to a lesser offense, or fight for a Not Guilty verdict at trial. Put a Norfolk, VA DUI attorney who fights to win on your side. Contact Welch & Wright today.
