Virginia DWI Defense

Attorneys for Drivers Facing DWI/DUI Charges in Fairfax, Henrico, Prince William and the Surrounding Counties in Virginia

You have been arrested for DWI (driving while intoxicated) in Virginia. You may have taken field sobriety tests and were told that you performed poorly, or you may have taken a breath or blood test and showed a result of .08% or greater (above the legal limit). It may seem that your legal options are limited and that your best chance of even a relatively positive outcome will be to accept a plea bargain. What you may not know is that there are numerous ways an experienced lawyer can build a DWI defense strategy on your behalf.

Brisendine, Overand, Buster & Bernstein takes on DWI / DUI cases throughout all of Virginia, including in Fairfax County, Henrico County, Prince William County and the surrounding areas. With our extensive experience and the resources available to fully investigate our clients' cases, our knowledgeable attorneys are able to build compelling arguments for our clients. We can build DWI defense strategies based upon a violation of your Constitutional rights, law enforcement error, or a lack of evidence. We offer effective representation for first time DWI offenders and for those facing multiple DWI offenses. The specific defense we are able to use will depend on the particulars of your case. Following are some potential examples:

• You were unlawfully arrested.
• The law enforcement officer did not have probable cause to pull you over (that is, he or she did not observe a violation of a traffic law or any behavior that would indicate DWI.)
• You were not read your Miranda rights.
• The breath test was administered using a device that was not properly calibrated.
• The person who administered your breath test or blood test was not properly trained.
• The blood sample taken was mishandled.
• The arresting officer did not properly administer field sobriety tests.
• Another factor - weight, age, illness or physical injury - led to poor performance on field sobriety tests.
